Buffy Sainte-Marie : it's my way

Summary: Buffy Sainte-Marie's life has been one of transitions - from singer-songwriter, recording artist, social activist, mother, actress, digital artist, philanthropist and educator. Blair Stonechild's compelling biography brings together the many facets of Buffy's remarkable life and explores the wonder of the woman behind it all. From the early years and the discovery of her family roots in Saskatchewan to Buffy's worldwide success as an academy award-winning songwriter and the founding of the cradleboard teaching project (an educational initiative devoted to better representing Native Americans) we discover an international icon whose passionate dedication to the advancement of Indigenous Peoples has never wavered.
