"Neon Hula" - Digital art by Buffy Sainte-Marie |
Today
we are speaking with the legendary artist, educator and political
activist Buffy Sainte-Marie. Buffy was born to Cree parents on the
Piapot Cree Reservation in Saskatchewan, Canada. She was orphaned as an
infant (adopted out) and moved to Massachusetts, where she would later get her degree
in Eastern Philosophy from the University of Massachusetts. In the early
Sixties, Buffy played the coffeehouses of Greenwich Village, where her
music was so well received that her career skyrocketed to international
fame soon thereafter. Almost 50 years after the release of her first
album, It’s My Way, Buffy’s new album, Power in the Blood,
is filled with the same fierce messages, eclecticism and passion unique
to this unstoppable woman. We explore creativity in an age of
commodification, being indigenous in a global village, demythologizing
the power elites, and more!

ways that resonate. Over the past five decades Ms. Sainte-Marie has been a voice for First Nations in Canada and the United States.
The Cradleboard project was a concept she developed in the early days of personal computing that allowed First Nations communities to connect and celebrate their individual and collective heritage. "...This put aboriginal people in the driver's seat of delivering who they are to remote partners of the same age and they'd discuss everything from clan mothers to medicine. It's a journey of discovery about each other's cultures and their own. It's putting kids in touch with kids and it promotes self-esteem..."
