This woman raises my spirit and has done it again and again for so very many of us over a long long time. May she and her spirit live long!
Little Wheel Spin and Spin, Big Wheel turn Around
It is power and freedom in the spirit of the wind!
Have you guys heard that awesome new band OTYKEN? Sounds a lot like this
...yesss & wahe guru...😇❣😎
ua-cam.com/video/o5zb0WTSLsY/v-deo.html She has a gift for that 🌬
Buffy just turned 80 and is still incredible! Great collaboration between Buffy and Tanya.

She always inspired me and lots of 60/70s contemporaries that changes could happen as we saw people our age in America going off to war we had Donovan, Dylan,Baez,then couples went on dates to see Soldier Blue at local cinemas and maybe talked about the film next day at work,Thankyou Dear Buffy - what inspiring anti - war music the only most of us kids could protest in any way…..
Wow she doesn't look it.
@@MeltinJohn Most fake Indians age differently.
@@MeltinJohn She's also a huge liar
Buffy Ste Marie has never turned in a bad performance in her long career. Hearing her with Tanya Tagaq is a treat for for the Spirits! Sounds like the echoes of the history of all North America
100% 😊
Her best performance is that she is Italian American and lying thru her liberal teeth for decades passing off her garbage music along with her identity. Her and Warren should take their act on the road.
What a bunch of hogwash, she was fake Indian who's performance was threatening her real family for 40 years with shame if they dared tell the world her real background. So according to you, fake Indians can treat the "spirits" !
She has no native blood , she’s a fake. Fifth Estate found irrefutable proof. This woman brought awareness to natives but also got paid thousands more than other folk singers and received aboriginal awards she shouldn’t have accepted. Her white family is also interviewed and have pictures of this white woman growing up as a child in America.
Correction: The echoes of the history of all North America after the Mayflower arrived. Why didn't the spirits tell you she's a white chick?
This woman is the reason I went into education for 35yrs. and continue today. Thanks Buffy for leading the way
35 years? And still can"t spell woman. She is one person.
Dave Brunner thanks for the spelling check. Here’s a little factoid for ya, native people usually refer to themselves using the plural. It’s something we trip over from time to time. Again thanks for set’n this ol’ndn straight kola’.
@@davebrunner1272 ...You cannot write. He wrote woman correctly.
@@allenwaters96 ...but you wrote it correctly.
@@saucerfull1 The comment was edited after the fact...regardless though it's silly to point out a single letter typo.
Oh hell yes. This woman has been giving me chills for many decades. Thanks Buffy.
I am so happy I had the opportunity to tell Buffy Ste Marie how much her music has meant to me since I first heard her in the 60s.
@@jimlimbach6629 60's?!? Wow. THIS is the first exposure which I'm cognizant of. This energy feels awesome. 💃🐃💃
Yes like to meet her IAM pit river 😘
Same here. Great to hear more from her ♫♪♫
Tom...I love you!
From the perspective of a heavy metal rocker stumbling upon this: awesome. Powerful song, totally blew me away, great job.

Yep I got into Buffy Sainte-Marie's music in the 80's when I was into Metallica etc and not long after reading Dee Brown's Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee. I used to listen to BS-M's 'Coincidence and Likely Stories' alongside Master of Puppets and '...And Justice For All'. They both tell the same stories of a society that underneath is very nasty. Naomi Kleins books 'Shock Doctrine' on neoliberalism and 'This Changes Everything' on climate change are the kind of books that go along with Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee as they speak of the excesses of greed and power at the expense and suffering of a great many people. Neoliberalism at its heart seems to have that same self righteousness as manifest destiny. Anyway some nice grounding native music are the intertribals, Black Lodge Singers and Buffy's track 'Darling Don't Cry'.

Me too.....I heard a live album on the radio..it blew me away!
She has some heavy tunes.....10x better live!
Know what you mean.
lol maybe im like you , im a Illdisposed fan usualy if you get the picture .....^^
BEAUTIFUL FOREVER BUFFY INDIGENOUS WARRIOR WOMAN!
HEY, YA HEY YA!
Actually, she is an Italian woman from Massachusetts.
🇮🇹🇮🇹
The Indigenous style choral section was so powerful, those chants didn’t use actual words, but why is it words without a linguistic meaning can have that much stirring power over those that do!
For sure!
Vocables
because they do have linguistic meansings in another language
Because they're taking to evil spirits.
@@naelyneurkopfen9741 lol 😆 bruh...
I have lived in Alaska most of my life driving sled dogs. I first heard this song in a movie long ago about George Attla, the famous dog musher from the interior of the State (who is my dog mushing hero and friend). This song for 35 years has been my favorite and I have had family looking for a copy of it all these years . The Movie, Spirit of the Wind which she sings a number of songs in is my absolute favorite movie. A friend finally let me know about the song being here and I told him that just days before I said to myself before I die I want to get a copy of this song. Buffy Sainte- Marie sings with true spirit of the wind. Made my day. Thanks, Stan
Buffy & Tanya talk about the song on our podcast if you want to dig a bit deeper. Thanks for listening. Podcast EP: soundcloud.com/polarismusicprize/polaris-podcast-episode-5-buffy-sainte-marie-tanya-tagaq-collaboration-session
I gotta try and check out the movie. This song brings out a deep drive to dump the lower 48 and run for my dream of perusing my life in rural AK. I am a machinist and furniture maker which I am sure would be financially better than where I live now where everyone wants things for absolute free- . City people suck only worry about money and how to screw each other. It ain't right.
P.S. if you're the Stan I'm thinking of in Tannana, I wish you well😊
polarismusicprize Nice on The link. 😊. Also Share on,Your Videos 😊
Your the one
Buddy try marry your the one
What a great song! Buffy Ste Marie, thank you so much for the energy and love you have poured into Native American causes and well-being for so many decades! Thank you for sharing your poetry and musical genious with all of us!!
This song brings tears to my eyes and a rush of strength to my heart. No one can take away our culture, our spirit and who we are in this universe!! Lots of love
YES!
That is so beautiful and true Creek. Thank you for giving it voice. Onward ...
You're mind is Connected to the Universe and I have always derived great spiritual energy & transformative experiences listening to you from early in the 80's!
...wahe guru 2U...❣
Well the truth just took her's away (she is a full fledged fake Indian that lied and threatened family to keep the secret)... so maybe your comment hasn't aged very well....
Miss sainte-marie thank you for raising all the hair on my arms and neck with your song and so ul I mean I can feel it
Her spirit is what moves me. What she isn't or who she is doesn't matter. I connect to her soul - that's all I care about.
It's different now for me ,after it was discovered she's not native..very sad situation 😢
This is healing. This is so special. Thank you for the music, Buffy and Tanya.
I can't play this fewer than three times in a row. :) It gets me UP!! I've always loved Buffy, but as I begin to push 70, I appreciate her more and more.
Wow are we the same on that!
72 here. Same. Life force. Must dance and move and be renewed. These two women so glad they are on this planet keeping us awake, inspiring us now. Gratitude!
I've done only one pilgrimage in my life, and that's when me and my girlfriend went on our first road trip to see Buffy St. Marie perform live. I guess here in the backwaters Scandinavia people didn't know who she was. Oh, woe is them. But we knew her and how awesome she is and we had the best summer ever.
OMG MY DANCE TEACHER GOT A DM FROM HER. ON FACEBOOK FROM DOING A MEXICAN DANCE. THIS WAS OUR FINALE SONG!!
I just came across this last week, and have never heard it before. Now I can't get it out of my head! I'll just be running arouund doing something and it pops into my head. Every time I hear the choral piece, I start to cry. When I sing along with it, it makes me feel something authentic inside; something that makes me feel like I'm part of something universal. That's a hard feeling to come by for me, and I'm so grateful to have found this.
The key word here is "authentic".... Lol... "fake authentic" must be a new term.
I stumbled upon her music two days ago and I love it!
This was from a movie - Spirit of the Wind - about George Alta, an Athabaskan who was an amazing dogsled driver. I lived up in Fairbanks and was lucky enough to watch him head out on one of the competitions. The movie is wonderful…matching this brilliant song!
Not often I am speechless at a song, but oh my god I'm speechless. That was absolutely phenomenal. I usually listen to Tanya Tagaq but have never hear Buffy, but now I will definitely be listening to more of her. Such a powerful song!!!
Much love over to you from a Sámi brother in Norway 💙
Than you should listen to "Darling Dont Cry" by Buffy
Have you heard of the new band OTYKEN yet? If you loved this, you'll def love OTYKEN
Sami Drumming Is Powerful Too.
Blessings And Truth For All.
@@candyrosefreeman7232 Truth is Buffy real name is Elizabeth Warren (another fake Indian).
Brilliant. 76 and still rocking. X

Buffy is a phenomenon.
What an amazing woman. I'm in awe.
Holy s*** I can feel her power through the ethers it's giving me chills :-)
I ABSOLUTELY ❤️ L O V E ❤️ BUFFY ST MARIE 🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏽👍🏼👍🏾
i am from germany her music is awesome 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I listened to Buffy when I was in my early teens. I'm nearly 70 now and am watching & listening to her again after all those years. How amazing she STILL is!!
Hello Nancy, how’re you doing today, how’s everything going over there 👉 Nancy?
thank you brothers and sisters love you art,s
This white guy had his hair blown back... Don't know Tanya, but I do know Buffy, and I admire two things, that she's become ever more direct in her "truth telling, and that she's always encouraged native traditional music (all those years ago with her mouth bow) now with Tanya throat singing. Its new to me, and now I'll be paying attention to Tanya and what she has to say over time.
I also love that the Standing Rock event where peace was so effectively waged has galvanized the tribes, and that Buffy isn't about to let that solidarity fade.
Continue please... Go forth and be powerful. You set the example for the entire world.
And Tanya has just released new material.
I recommend watching her Ted Talks. ua-cam.com/video/dumvYzfuT0w/v-deo.html
hear, hear on the solidarity. Humanity needs a power song.
Turns out you didn't know Buffy as well as you thought you did. Not sure "truth" should ever be used in the same sentence as Buffy ever again.
OMG I can't stop listening to this song! Help lol. Powerful!!!
love love love so fantasic
Bless Me Buffy Sainte Marie..helping me Walk the Red Road in a Sacred manner.
Miyutake oyasin.
Washti
Can you speak Italian?
I love the Inuit throat singing!
Just the best...
No run
Take a chance on the Spirit of the Wind...
More than ever now, the voices of these women must be heard.
The Buff rules. If she's ever on Van island, I'll be there
Totally amazing. Powerful and shakes my insides. Whew!!!! Let me catch my breath. I love both Buffy and Tanya. Wish this video held more for Tanya, yet all of it is still perfect. PERFECT. PERFECT. What an incredible song.
thank you birds...it's not a question of "can I" but "when" ...everything is possible in life; nothing is beyond a human being reach..."is it right?" that is the question.
Any time I listen to Buffy and if I have lost heart, it immediately returns home.
I love and enjoy listening to Buffy St.Marie's cd music
This song picks me up when I'm down. Gives me strength when I feel drained. Opens my heart when it has been closed by "modern" life. Words can't express my gratitude...
Great song done by a great woman. God Bless
I agree. In a primal way it stirs the soul.
Yeesss!
i suspect this one is making it on to my "when you gotta do shit and you need energy to do it" list. (not indigenous, fwiw, so i'm almost certainly missing some nuances but what i AM getting is still pretty damn meaningful.)
Buffy Sainte-Marie, powerful Spirit Woman, and all with you - thank you. Beautiful. Powerful. Keeping all of us energized to continue standing up, speaking out, holding the line.
Powerful Fake you mean. Spitting at her own real family must be the new "holding the line".
Buffy just soaring like she always does 😌
Amazing song!
Thank you!
Amazing, haunting, beautiful, inspiring. I saw the film with this song back in '83. (Spirit of the Wind) Tracked down the makers - a couple of geniuses who took a handful of people out in the wilderness and literally put this together with a couple of cameras. But then they ran out of money and though they finished the film, they were broke and sold the rights, so it was never released in the US.
I got in touch with Buffy many years ago to see if she would ever be interested in doing these songs on her own. We had a sincerely mutually anguished conversation regarding how lame it was that the film, 'Spirit', had been released in France but not in the US. And now, here it is. I cannot believe this is online now - thank you, thank you - there is a God.
Did the movie get released in Canada?
I think the 'Ronde' dog sled race people in Anchorage sell this film. Google, 'Ronde', along with 'Spirit of the Wind'. Also - check Amazon, but make sure you get the right film - (I think 'Spirit of the Wind' is also the name of another film or book that came up when I checked on Amazon.)
Here's hoping the renewed interest in the song also renews interest in the film...
I love her voice and songs. She has such a strong voice. You can feel it all the way down inside. You can't help but get into the rhythm and get up on your feet. Then when she gives us certain notes and tones the chills go up and down the spine. Thank you.
Easily deceived much? She was fake from day one.
I have always loved Buffy Sainte-Marie her music, her voice since I came to this country, Canada as an immigrant from Germany.
Happy Birthday Buffy! Wonderful interview with Pia Chattopadhyay and here because Buffy herself chose this song to end the interview
Her voice when I first heard it 70 years ago gave my mind something to grasp that saved me. This just gives me chills and tears. But, also Bliss. 🙏🏼‼️
70 years ago, she still claimed to be white.
omg! thank u everyone involved (tears here)
Goosebumps.
This makes me cry i love it so much 💥🔥💜
what these too women are doing aurally and creatively....gives me chills....feels like my first powwow when I was 8 blended with a modern and fresh interpretation, transcending the old and the new. It feels like after going to many powwows in my life not understanding the songs, and then suddenly something clicks and they are reaching through language and time, and you finally understand, and that message hits you like lightening...
this amazing woman is one of my heroes.
A beautiful song with a story. Wish you well.
Absolutely love this. Brought tears..
What a legend. I first heard her when I was 12 in the mid 60s. And she is still going strong and even better with time!
Lying then, lying now. Pretendian that made a living spitting at her own real family.
Take away the fake identity and what do you see? (the worst singer ever to sell an album is what I see)
Today i came across this music and so much in love with her.
I feel the same way.....She is my fix each day
I bet she cooks a mean linguini...
I needed to hear this. Made sure my Sapmi flag still was flying high in front of my house after listening. Thank you
I am currently reading a book by Tanya Tagaq...and then came here to listen to this again. I heard it on CBC Radio 2 a few years ago and it's soooo good!
I'm 100% native American and this woke me up from the bullshit of my enemies thank you buffy from an south western native American who comes from the tribe that terrorized SETTLERS still active always will be 💯👩🏾🦅👊🏾🔥🌎🔥👊🏾🦅👩🏾💯
Good job sister or brother we can't keep taking the rape and theft.
YAY Buffy!! And I love Tanya getting involved, the 2 of them a beautifull blend!! It would be a great time to bring back "Protest Song"!!
Such grand Spiritual Blessings!!!
WOW this is stunning
Wow! what a song!
103 people didn't like this?? WTF? Ii feel lifted to the sky, totally motivated! Beautiful spirits.
Elle chante avec son âme et son coeur , d'où ses yeux fermés .
❤❤❤❤❤This song is POWERFUL

Powerful.
This song brings me into good mood, although the weather is wet, cold and gloomy.
Какое красивое пение! Какая красивая женщина! Похожа на мою бабушку!
2023 listening, loving and grateful ✨✨✨
An amazing performer!
Amazing beautiful people
My undying support to the Native People, this song was amazing.
When you see how good people can lie and decorate it with such fancy music, you question a lot of stuff.
So Beautiful "Buffy is such a beautiful singer and I really love this song🎶🎼🪶❤🥰
Again she gets right to the soul that is us
Absolutely awesome!!! Buffy and Tanya should do a full album together!
i agree!!!!
I love the lyrics and the immediacy of the melody. Raise each other up to take a stand for the things we know to be wrong!
Wowowow!
Powerful song!
Thank you for all your love and songs for decades!
I feel like a flea on a horse in the audience of this singer and band ,,very authentic ..Theres not a right point break long enough to ride this song out! Perfect surfing music ..Thanks
I saw Buffy on stage last year and I gotta say her energy blew through us like a strong wind. She seemed to be looking right into you. Chills!
Sad nobody looked back at her until this last year to discover all the fakery.
Wow mon réveil matin de chevet énergétique.
💓💗❤️💗❤️💗
Cela décoiffe ! Merci beaucoup
Love her!!!! ❤
Whoa! How come I never saw this before! Right on my sisters! I'm sharing this with my daughters. All My Relations!
living across the ocean now - but still know where my roots are
Stunning! Wow. Two powerful, creative women making an amazing collaboration. Love the way they both push the boundaries an make beautiful music.
Shes my grandma!
Buffy is such an inspiration! :)
I lived in Fairbanks when George Atla was running his dogs through the streets of Fairbanks competing with other mushers. This song was a perfect fit for this story
What an awesome experience! ❤
I love dogs, they're my favorite animal in all the world. 🐶🐕🐾🐕🦺🛷
I never feel closer to heaven than when I'm with a dog or dogs -- living purely in connection with the moment and the environment.
ahhh buffy love your voice ..you are amazing ..standing ovation )))))))))))
NOTE: SONG LYRICS BELOW I heard this song in late 1980 when I went to see Spirit of the Wind in Las Vegas, NV. I was so moved by both the movie and the song. I looked for it for many years to show up on one of Buffy's albums. With this special production I have to say it has been worth the wait. I grew up on a Reservation in Northern CA. Her albums were played over and over in school, and pretty much everywhere. I have followed her every since, about 47 years, I'd say. This song is so special and the words are so powerful, especially in Indian Country. I feel like they could really make a difference for anyone looking for hope. I found Polaris Podcast Episode 5 where she talks about the lyrics and from there, and listening to this song over and over, I transcribed what I am hearing. Please pardon any mistakes in structure or transcriptions. This format is not letting me lay it out as I would want to. Thanks Buffy for these powerful lyrics, and for introducing me to Tanya Tagaq. I'm a fan already. Also, for the shout-out to Standing Rock near the end of the song! YOU GOT TO RUN (SPIRIT OF THE WIND) Whether you're a women or whether you're a man, sometimes you got to take a stand. Just because you think you can, you got to run, you got to run. Whether you're a women or whether you're a man, sometimes you got to take a stand. Just because you think you can, you got to run, you got to run. Trying against the odds you're in a trance. Who did you think you are to have a chance? You're a no-one from a place where everyone knows your face. Come and go away, and they know the son. So you better hang on and hey, you better run. Cuz here's your chance and your race has begun. Down in a hole. You feel like two different people in your soul. Feel like a loser until you see that as you bend you learn to be your own best friend, and you learn how, and you learn when, to take a chance on the spirit of the wind. Whether you're a women or whether you're a man sometimes you got to take a stand. Just because you think you can, you got to run, you got to run. Babe, hey, we've been down. We've been so broken been so low that I kissed the ground. But you can see yourself a winner beyond the money and the greed. Beyond the pride is a pure and tested need to be a champion is more than luck and speed, it's power and freedom in the spirit of the wind. Whether you're a women or whether you're a man sometimes you got to take a stand. Just because you know you can, you got to run, you got to run. STANDING ROCK!
Thomas Lamar Farnum o
I keep wondering if it is..."a pure and tested reed" would fit in with the "as you bend" ...
thank you for sharing the words to this powerful song that feels so empowering for these days we face... I really appreciate it for some go go juice to keep on keeping on....
You're right Thomas, this song is great for anyone looking for hope. It was pretty much my soundtrack as I applied for school last year, played it over and over. And now as a 55 year old indigenous woman I've been accepted into the program to become a counselor (taught by first nations teachers!). This song gave me the fire and courage to walk through my fears and go for it. I will always be grateful for this song. Thank you Buffy and Tanya and the other wonderful musicians!
Please BE PROUD OF YOUR HERITAGE, for your ancestors way of life has much more to be proud of than any other's. If only we would've left them alone, then maybe this continent would still have a chance. I read "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" when I was 12 and still cherish the fact that I finally got the FACTS about who did what...and my history books had it all wrong,
powerful lady ..powerful song .only buffy can sing ,,,love her ..you are magnificent
Amazing, wonderful, impressive, many thanks to you all !
