Art and Activism: Buffy Sainte-Marie
- chmaynard 3y ago> Buffy was born in 1941 on the Piapot 75 Reserve in Qu’Appelle Valley, Saskatchewan, Canada, to Cree parents. At the age of 2 or 3, Buffy was removed from her family as part of the Sixties Scoop – a Canadian government policy removing Indigenous children and placing them with non-First Nations families. Buffy was adopted by an American family from Wakefield, Massachusetts, Albert and Winifred Sainte-Marie. Putin was accused of committing a war crime for doing the same thing to children of Ukrainian families living in the war zone.
