Buffy the Truth Slayer: Report Says Famed Folk Singer Saint-Marie Invented Her Whole Canadian-First Nations History

Share

Buffy Saint Marie was always presented as Native American or Canadian, or we used to say Indian. She was also from Canada, but adopted by American parents.

Saint Marie came up with the folk singing craze, and centered herself in the world of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. She covered their songs, and put Indian artifacts on her album covers.

The singer even won an Oscar co-writing the hit song, “Up Where We Belong,” in 1983 with her ex husband Jack Nitzsche (he’s dead now) and Will Jennings. She’s likely made a fortune from it.

SO this has gone for 60 years. And now the Canadian Broadcast Company has published a very detailed report claiming Saint Marie isn’t Canadian or Native American or Canadian, or Indian in any way. They’ve found her birth certificate from Stoneham, Massachusetts. They’ve interviewed her relatives, all of whom agree she was never adopted, her father was Italian, her mother was English and Scottish.

Yes, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus. Buffy Saint Marie is George Santos, and so many others, like Rachel Dolezal. Her life has been one excellent scam.

Saint Marie has published a piece on Instagram and a video on YouTube in which her wording is very careful. She doesn’t call her Stoneham family her “Birth family” but her “growing up family.” She says she doesn’t know what she is, although liar comes to mind.

Why hasn’t Saint Marie taken a DNA test? They’ve been easy enough to get for a couple of decades at least. I say, let’s put her on Henry Louis Gates’s PBS show and get to the bottom of this potential scandal.
