Buffy Sainte-Marie, CC (born Beverly Jean Santamaria; February 20, 1941, ^[1]) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and social activist.^[3] While working in these areas, her work has focused on issues facing Indigenous peoples of the United States and Canada. Since the early 1960s, Sainte-Marie has claimed to have Indigenous Canadian ancestry, but a 2023 investigation by CBC News concluded she was born in the United States and is of Italian and English descent.^[2]

Her singing and writing repertoire also includes subjects of love, war, religion, and mysticism. She has won recognition, awards, and honors for her music as well as her work in education and social activism. In 1983, her co-written song "Up Where We Belong", for the film An Officer and a Gentleman, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 55th Academy Awards.^[4][5] The song also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song that same year.^[6] In 1997, she founded the Cradleboard Teaching Project, an educational curriculum devoted to better understanding Native Americans.^[7]

Personal life[edit]

Sainte-Marie was born at the New England Sanitarium and Hospital in Stoneham, Massachusetts, to parents Albert Santamaria and Winifred Irene Santamaria, née Kendrick.^[2] The Santamarias were an American couple from Wakefield, Massachusetts. Her father’s parents were born in Italy while her mother was of English ancestry.^[2] Her family changed their surname from Santamaria to Sainte-Marie due to anti-Italian sentiment following the Second World War.^[2]

Sainte-Marie attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, earning degrees in teaching and Oriental philosophy;^[8] she claims to have graduated as one of the top ten members of her class.^[9][10]

In 1964, on a trip to the Piapot Cree reserve in Canada for a powwow, she was welcomed and (in a Cree Nation context) adopted by the youngest son of Chief Piapot, Emile Piapot, and his wife, Clara Starblanket Piapot, who added to Sainte-Marie's cultural value and place in Native culture.^[11]

In 1968, Sainte-Marie married a Hawaiian surfing teacher named Dewain Bugbee and they divorced in 1971. She married Sheldon Wolfchild from Minnesota in 1975; they have a son, Dakota "Cody" Starblanket Wolfchild. They later divorced. She married Jack Nitzsche, her co-writer of "Up Where We Belong" on March 19, 1982; they were married for seven years.

Although not a Bahá'í herself, Sainte-Marie became an active friend of the Bahá'í faith and has appeared at concerts, conferences, and conventions of the religion. In 1992, she appeared in the musical event prelude to the Baháʼí World Congress, a double concert "Live Unity: The Sound of the World" in 1992 with video broadcast and documentary.^[12] In the video documentary of the event Sainte-Marie is seen on the Dini Petty Show explaining the Bahá'í teaching of progressive revelation.^[13] She also appears in the 1985 video Mona With The Children by Douglas John Cameron.^[14] However, while she supports a universal sense of religion, she does not subscribe to any particular religion.

I gave a lot of support to Bahá'í people in the '80s and '90s … Bahá'í people, as people of all religions, is something I'm attracted to … I don't belong to any religion. … I have a huge religious faith or spiritual faith but I feel as though religion … is the first thing that racketeers exploit. … But that doesn't turn me against religion …^{[15]: 16:15–18:00min}

Sainte-Marie applied for Canadian citizenship through her Cree lawyer Delia Opekokew in 1980.^[16] In 2017, she said she does not have a Canadian passport and is a US citizen.^[17]
