Leyland Cecco, "Buffy Sainte-Marie Indigenous roots controversy rocks Canada First Nations" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/02/buffy-sainte-marie-documentary-controversy-indigenous-canada

Only now did I learn about the controversy of Buffy Sainte-Marie about her claims of being an indigenous Native American. There seems to be a lot of eveidence that Buffy Sainte-Marie (intentionally) pretended to have indigenous ancestry, although her adoption into a Cree family later in her twenties has never been disputed. But how much such an adoption makes you more than a family member and bestows indigeneity is beyond me to say. And the whole controversy obviously means different things to indigenous people and to white people.
