    What To Know
    The University of Toronto rescinded Buffy Sainte-MarierCOs honorary degree
    due to ongoing disputes over her claimed Indigenous Cree ancestry.
    It came after a 2023 documentary revealed her birth certificate and
    family testimony.
    Sainte-Marie has maintained that she has never lied about her identity.
    Buffy Sainte-Marie rCo the Oscar-winning folk singer who claims to be an Indigenous woman of Cree descent rCo was recently stripped of an honorary degree over an ancestry dispute.

    On Wednesday, May 13, the University of Toronto announced that it had rescinded Sainte-MarierCOs honorary Doctor of Laws degree. She received
    the honor in 2019 for her rCLexcellence in the arts, as a
    singer-songwriter, actress and visual artist.rCY

    The decision, approved on May 13, came more than two years after the
    Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) aired a documentary from The
    Fifth Estate alleging that Sainte-Marie lied about her Native American ancestry. In it, a birth certificate indicated that she was born in Massachusetts to Italian-American parents. Family members also confirmed
    this.

    However, Sainte-Marie, 85, insisted in March 2025 that although she is
    an American citizen with a U.S. passport, she was adopted as a young
    adult by a Cree family.

    Sainte-Marie rose to fame in the rCO60s with folk songs like rCLUniversal Solider,rCY rCLNow That the BuffalorCOs Gone,rCY rCLUntil ItrCOs Time for You to
    Go,rCY rCLMy Country rCyTis of Thy People YourCOre Dying,rCY and more. She co-wrote rCLUp Where We Belong,rCY which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the film An Officer and a Gentleman in 1983.
    Additionally, she appeared as a recurring guest on Sesame Street from
    1975 to 1981, during which she shared her Cree heritage and performed songs.

    In November 2023, Billboard Canada published a statement from
    Sainte-Marie, just two months after she announced her retirement from
    live performances. rCLI have never lied about my identity,rCY she insisted. rCLThe more IrCOve known, the more IrCOve pieced together a sense of self from what information has been available to me.rCY

    Sainte-Marie continued, rCLWhat I know about my Indigenous ancestry I
    learned from my growing up mother, who was of MirCOkmaq heritage, and my
    own research later in life. My mother told me that I was adopted and
    that I was Native, but there was no documentation as was common for
    Indigenous children at the time.rCY

    After detailing how she was adopted into a Cree family as an adult, she admitted, rCLI have always struggled to answer questions about who I am.
    For decades, I tried to find my birth parents and information about my background.rCY

    Sainte-Marie explained, rCLThrough that research what became clear, and
    what IrCOve always been honest about: I donrCOt know where IrCOm from or who my birth parents are, and I will never know. Which is why, to be
    questioned in this way is painful, both for me, and for my two families
    I love so dearly.rCY

    She ginned up the indigenous ancestry to take advantage of the 1960s
    renewed interest in First Nation citizens. It was a clever way to stand
    out from the rank and file folk music crowd she was trying to make her
    mark on. She got away with it for decades, and reaped fame and renown
    for it, until it ...

    She's a fake and was "found out." I have indigenous friends who despise
    her fraud. They believe she took advantage of their heritage. They're
    glad that the truth was revealed.

    Yeah!
    and her lying lyrics from last Buffalo,

    Can you remember the times
    That you have held your head high?
    And told all your friends of your Indian claim
    Proud good lady and proud good man
    Some great-great-grandfather from Indian blood sprang
    And you feel in your heart for these ones
    Oh, it's written in books and in songs
    That we've been mistreated and wronged
    Well over and over, I the those same words
