Singer-Activist Buffy Sainte-Marie Stripped of Order of Canada, the Country’s Most Prestigious Civilian Honor
Buffy Sainte-Marie was stripped of the Order of Canada following reports that the 83-year-old singer-activist fabricated her Indigenous background.
Oscar-winning songwriter and Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee Buffy Sainte-Marie, known for the anti-war song “Universal Soldier” and stolen-land lament “Now That the Buffalo’s Gone,” has had her prestigious Order of Canada appointment terminated. The award is the country’s highest honor presented to a civilian.
“Notice is hereby given that the appointment of Buffy Sainte-Marie to the Order of Canada was terminated by Ordinance signed by the Governor General [Mary Simon] on January 3, 2025.” The notice was given by Ken MacKillop, Secretary General of the Order of Canada.
"No specific reason for the termination was stated, but an investigation by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Fifth Estate” show, published on Oct. 27, 2023 and now viewed on YouTube 1.5 million times,
alleges that Sainte-Marie fabricated her Indigeneity, and presented a birth certificate shown on camera listing Stoneham, Mass. as her place of birth, “color of race” as “white,” and birth name as Beverly Jean Santamaria.
Italian "NA" be like.
Every one of these sanctimonious fake NAs are narcissistic liars.
Look at Elizabeth Warren......If you rob another student of their education because you claimed what was righteously someone else's belongs (education) and left them to fend for themselves, you are the much bigger crook.
