Buffy Sainte-Marie

Folk-music firebrand, early electronics experimentalist, and writer of pop hits Buffy Sainte-Marie started out as a marginalized misfit and eventually made a big splash in the mainstream.

Abandoned on a Saskatchewan Cree reserve after her birth in 1941, Sainte-Marie was adopted by a Massachusetts couple and became a vital component of the ‘60s folk scene, soon finding stardom through widely covered hit compositions and her own powerfully trilling voice.
