“Buffy is not indigenous but a cultural appropriator who fooled everyone. She should divest herself of all the wealth she amassed while posing as indigenous”

“As a white woman and a musician growing up in the states who was raised on my mother’s Joni Mitchell records, it’s shameful I had never heard of Buffy. Not only is she one of the greatest musicians and songwriters of our time, but she is responsible for so many other white stars’ careers...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to 2 episodes so far of the Buffy podcast and am thoroughly enjoying it. I remember when Buffy was in the limelight, even though I was more of a rock’n roller and not as much into folk music. I recently came in on the end of a PBS episode about her and learned things that I did not...”Read full review »

“Buffy Sainte-Marie is the Frida Kahlo of musical expression. Her art and Indigeneity are inextricable. Falen Johnson brings Buffy Sainte-Marie to the surface for those who haven’t lived with her in their lives. And for those of us who already love Buffy, Falen reminds us why we do.”
