An Hour of Music and Conversation with Legendary Native American Singer-Songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie

In a Democracy Now! special, an hour of conversation and music with Cree Indian singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie. In the turbulent 1960s, she was just out of college but already famous for her beautiful voice and moving lyrics in songs like "Universal Soldier" and "Now that the Buffalo’s Gone."

Over the years, Buffy Sainte-Marie has worked with the American Indian Movement, but also with Sesame Street, and even Hollywood, winning an Academy Award for the song “Up Where We Belong” in 1982.

I'm not a big fan of her vibrato singing style but her spirit, her heart and her desire to right wrongs are what have continued to move me all these many years. Nice to see that she's still spreading the love and light.
