Buffy Sainte-Marie. Is her gig about to be up?

A high percentage of the people who went from France to North America in the 16th and 17th Century were in the fur trade, or Clergy. The male - female ratio of European immigrants was probably at least 50-1, and many of those females were nuns, or monogamous. One would expect most of the Catholic missionaries and supervisors to have had few descendants, and fewer or the ones who weren't heterosexually celibate would have had Native partners.

By the 18th Century, the beaver felt hat fad had largely declined, (the main purpose of those huge hats was to protect clothing from liquid and solid human waste thrown from second story windows into the street below). Louis XIV sent les filles du Roi in the 18th Century, but there wasn't much additional emigration to New France. France just wanted to increase the population of the colonists who were already there. Very few of the men would have had full European ancestry after several generations.

More beaver stories!!!

So do Mario and Andrew Cuomo. She looks a little like one of the Disney child actors back in the Mickey Mouse Club days, except for the hair...

How has her being a fake native negatively impacted anyone?

If she made money advertising herself as indigenous while actual indigenous artists missed out...

Actual Indigenous artists losing out on awards to Beverly Santamaria aka. Buffy Sainte-Marie.

'Very duped': Indigenous musicians upset over Buffy Sainte-Marie ancestry revelations

Buffy Sainte-Marie, wearing a shining dress and long necklace, was led on the stage by a group of Indigenous people in traditional regalia after she was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1995.

Kelly Fraser was a Indigenous Canadian musician whose album was nominated but lost out to Buffy for Indigenous album of the year at the 2018 Juno Awards.

She committed suicide a year later. She was 26 years old.

Here is her post congratulating Buffy on her win.

Buffy's son made a FB post 3 years ago giving the full details and explanation behind Buffy's persona.
