CBC-TV’s recent Fifth Estate report raising questions about Buffy Sainte-Marie’s Indigeneity has rocked our country and become the topic of conversation among many.Some don’t support the CBC reporting and stand with Sainte-Marie, recognizing her as an Indigenous woman.There are also people who believe the report to be true, but argue that with Sainte-Marie in her early 80s, “Why bring it up?”
When I was younger, I didn’t know about the 60s Scoop. I felt displaced as an Indigenous person with no idea where I was from. Some feel that since she was adopted by an Indigenous family as an adult, she should be seen as Indigenous. In family records about my birth, the space for the doctor’s name is left blank, the time of birth is left blank, and most other information is missing.
Hearing the stories of Sainte-Marie and other high-profile alleged Pretendians is more deeply triggering and personal than just being let down by an icon, teacher or author.
