Buffy Sainte-Marie, OC (born Beverly Sainte-Marie, February 20, 1941 or this date in 1942) is an Academy Award-winning Canadian First Nations singer-songwriter, musician, composer, visual artist, pacifist, educator, social activist, and philanthropist.

Some of her other songs have more modern popular sounds. Her work has been covered by such musicians as Janis Joplin, Chet Atkins and Joe Cocker.
