Canadian singer Buffy Saint-Marie has been accused of faking her Indigenous heritage in a bombshell feature by the which claims she was born in to a white family and not, as she claimed, on an Indian reservation. Saint-Marie has been a folk music icon and Indigenous success story in since she found fame in the 1970s. She has always described herself as belonging to the Cree tribe, and says she was adopted as a child by a white family as part of the infamous Sixties Scoop, when Indigenous children in Canada were removed from their families and adopted by white parents.
