One of Canada’s most prominent Indigenous icons might not be Indigenous after all, according to media reports.
Buffy Sainte-Marie, who was considered the first Indigenous person to win an Oscar, has always claimed to be a Cree Indian born in Canada who was then adopted by an American couple and raised near Boston.
But, Heidi St. Marie, the daughter of Sainte-Marie’s older brother, told CBC that the family didn't believe Sainte-Marie was Indigenous.
"She wasn’t born in Canada.… She’s clearly born in the United States," St. Marie said. "She’s clearly not Indigenous or Native American."
"Nobody except for Buffy ever talked about Buffy being adopted," she said.
