Buffy Sainte-Marie says a CBC News investigation that questioned her Indigenous heritage is an attack on her character, life and legacy. “Being an ‘Indian’ has little to do with sperm tracking and colonial record keeping: it has to do with community, culture, knowledge, teachings, who claims you, who you love, who loves you and who’s your family,” said the 82-year-old Sainte-Marie in a written statement to The Canadian Press.
The CBC’s claims also were included in an episode of the network’s Fifth Estate documentary that featured interviews with Sainte-Marie’s family members.
In the documentary and investigation, the CBC said it found Sainte-Marie’s birth certificate stating that she was born in 1941 in Massachusetts to white parents.
