    Buffy Sainte- Marie has been a gift to me for over 40 plus years. I found her as a teen and she opened my eyes! Infinite blessings of gratitude for the gift ...my teacher/healer.

    So interesting. My parents were school teachers on the Navajo reservation. My parents were too busy with their own lives, but the Navajo people took me in as one of them. They taught me to love and really accept people as they are without judgement. I still see white faces as foreigners and brown faces as family. I am a Navajo inside, but white outside. What a blessing from God to be raised by the tribe.

    She is brilliant and wise, OMG! I pray that there are more than a few listening! I have so been there and read a number of the boos she listed. I have been on the committee of the First Nations Film Festival in Chicago for many years, and been a friend of the American Indian Center in Chicago, I have studied many books and material about the history and culture of the First Nations. I am still so totally ignorant. May Creator help us heed this great woman warrior's words.

      well even if they boo her they were hearing and listened. The words are now a part of them. She is the first person that verbalized my intention with my children. loving music myself I made instruments available for them to grow a relationship with. There is a peace that comes when I find another person would get me.

    So grateful for all Buffy Sainte-Marie has sensitively and generously "cooked up" and served us over so many years. A gentle, humorous, incisive, courageous, educated, compassionate, timeless and inspiring wake up call. And dang her, she says not to put her on a pedestal, but to go out and cook up a good meal ourselves!!

    Thank you Buffy Sainte-Marie,
    I am aware through my life-experience in the winter of 2000,camping,mind you I was the only one at hardy Island between Vancouver and Vancouver Island,I visited a nearby native Indian village,to visit the museum but it was closed, I noticed a woman crying so I asked if she was alright and than I heard the story of this village, where native children were taken from their parents to a missionary school where all children were sexually,physical and mentaly,completely stripped from their Identity, you can already quess what happened when those children became parents themself, nobody is aware of what really happened then and now, in 2004 I quit my job and became a bear care-taker, a natural shelter for bear cubs in Kuterevo, Croatia near Velebit mountains, where most Native Indian films were made, I volunteered for 7 á 8 years to do something in return for this beautifull animal and there are many life lessons for human life through observing their natural behaviour,thank you for sharing the truth through your love for all life,
    Is there something I can do to help?
    Enjoy a beautifull new day🙏❤✌🌞🌝🐻🌈🤗🌅

    What a wonderful, positive human being. Not to mention her massive gift of creativity. A treasure. What she says is true. Just like abused kids often grow up to be abusers of people or substances, people who have come from abusive political situations also tend to bring the internalized violence with them. Hate the violence and the injustice, not the people. They need to be set free from what has distorted their nature.
    My two favourite Buffy tunes: "Cod'ine" and "My Country 'Tis of Thy People You're Dying". I was a teenager when I hear the second one, and I was riveted to the spot. The words went through me like electricity. Heartbreaking and galvanizing.
    I think it's time that Canadian schools put Indigenous/Native Studies in their core curricula. It was recognized in the late 60's that French ought to be studied by every Canadian in the interest of national unity. There can be no deep national unity without a thorough knowledge and appreciation of Indigenous reality and history.
    My own experience of non-Indigenous young people in Canada is that they are very receptive to Indigenous values, and appalled and angry at the history of abuse of Indigenous peoples. They want justice for everyone. Young people are wonderful.

    I found Buffy Sainte Marie thanks to ditching satellite and cable, picking up much never seen commonly, amongst which is KBTC Tacoma's Over The Air side channel FNX (First Nation Network) and Indian Country Today news, which plays her song "You Got To Run (Spirit Of The Wind)". Hearing it, I I dug more, and I saw this video, and I am gobsmacked about her power and presence and obvious lifelong work, intelligence, and grasp of the world.
    I am highly impressed by her grasp of history and wish I could have been a member of her tribe!

    Anthony Hagarty mentioned Buffy in an interview.
    Since a few weeks I know her name, listening her music, hearing a "lesson" like this , I feel less alone.
    Living in North West Europe ( Holland) where nationalists want "us" te be proud again about our history and colonialistic background, I often asked them to think about the "blood on our boots". Nothing to be proud about.
    Their reaction is mostly like ;" what natives have to do with this discusion"? Or: "Well, thats so long ago, why always involving natives or aboriginals in this"?
    We'd no history education, it was just a shameless story about our great navigation and developing "new" country's.
    Indians, aboriginals, natives, black people were and still are put down as wild people, heathens and stupid.
    It's never to late to change minds by Buffy and others.

    Hello, friends. Mescalero Apache Reservation here in Southern, New Mexico. I made a short film about Buffy after recording one of her songs in our big stone church in Mescalero. Ite also featured the Apache Christ icon. The crazy thing is that the day a aired my film, the huge, 8-foot painting was stolen. It's a long story, but the incident seemed to confirm that I was going in the right direction with my film. The film also highlights some of her music in the score, and answers many questions about identity, commercialism, and the sacred vs the profane in music. Please the film here at _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_ channel. The title is:

    Bad leadership causes humans wherever bad leadership is to kill people, to be ruthless, to excuse ourselves to be easily offended. Bad leadership allows those who's Spirit is already dying to completely dispatch their Spirit and become fully human (Being human is not a compliment) when we say I am only human, we use it as an excuse for saying I am fully flawed. We were not created to become fully human. We were created to overcome humanness and awaken our Spirit and become who we really are. We are an eternal living Spirit learning to be ourselves in spite of what this temporal creation produces. This creation was created to throw the Spirit (that lives inside this temporal avatar) all kinds of challenges so that the spirit can become an expert at behaving like it did in eternity. So that our true selves can with practice produce patience, kindness, charity, love etc... no matter what is being thrown at him or her.
