Say It Ain’t So

The evidence, including a birth certificate looks pretty conclusive. Buffy Saint-Marie, indigenous Canadian icon, is apparently no more indigenous than I am. For six decades she has been a well-known singer-songwriter, winner of multiple awards, and supposedly she’s not who she says she is. I must admit, I am a little surprised. At the same […]
