“Now That the Buffalo’s Gone”: Buffy Sainte-Marie as Singer-Songwriter and Activist

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Buffy Sainte-Marie is, according to her own account, a First Nations / Native American folk singer and activist. As she notes, born in 1941 to Cree parents, she was taken from her family as a toddler as part of the so-called Sixties Scoop. She grew up and received her education in the United States and launched her music career in 1964 with her first album It’s My Way, which included two of her classic songs: “The Universal Soldier” (an anti-war anthem) and “Now That the Buffalo’s Gone” (a protest song about the genocide of First Nations / Native Americans). Her third record, Little Wheel Spin and Spin, contained her arguably most influential song, “My Country ’Tis of Thy People You’re Dying,” a scathing indictment of the treatment of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Her recordings and performances have continued up until the present day, and have included an Oscar nomination in 1983 forher song “Up Where We Belong.” Sainte-Marie was also among the first to make use of synthesizers in her recordings. Alongside her musical career, Buffy Sainte-Marie has been a pioneer in representation of Native Americans on television, specifically on the groundbreaking children’s program Sesame Street, where she, among other things, broke new ground by breastfeeding her child on camera. Battling throughout her career with censorship and prejudice, she continues up to the present to use her musicand person to fight for Indigenous rights and education.
