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.
