Description

Buffy Saint-Marie is a symbol of the free expression movement of the 1960s and her powerful songs inspired countless people seeking hope and change.
Her life has been one of transitions; from songwriter to famous intellectually-oriented folk and protest singer| to country and western and rock and roll musician| to social activist| mother| script-writer| actress| digital artist| philanthropist| children’s educator| and “medicine woman.” Within all these roles| and throughout her incredibly diverse and engaging| though private| life| Buffy Sainte-Marie has cultivated her unique vision for achieving collective beauty and purpose in an often lonely world.
In this ambitious biography of an international cultural icon| Blair Stonechild seeks to bring together the many facets of a remarkable life| and to develop a sense of the woman behind it all.
In doing so| Stonechild also traces some of the tumultuous history of the Cree people| and offers a fascinating| and challenging| view into the impoverished Saskatchewan reserve where Sainte-Marie was born| and an exploration of the story and context of a Native culture which Buffy continues to inspire today.
