Legendary singer Buffy Sainte-Marie has been sensationally stripped of her honors title after allegedly 'lying about her heritage.'
The 83-year-old Oscar-winning singer has been stripped of her prestigious Order of Canada following explosive claims she fabricated her Indigenous heritage.
The Order of Canada - bestowed upon more than 7,600 people since 1967 - represents the highest of recognition for 'extraordinary contributions to the nation.'
The star, who won an Academy Award for co-writing 'Up Where We Belong,' had been awarded the Order of Canada in 1997 for her supposed work championing Indigenous causes.
The decision, quietly published in Canada Gazette on Saturday, comes after 2023's shocking investigation revealed the singer may have built her entire career on deception.
A notice by Secretary General of the Order of Canada, Ken MacKillop, reads: 'Notice is hereby given that the appointment of Buffy Sainte-Marie to the Order of Canada was terminated by Ordinance signed by the Governor General [Mary Simon] on January 3, 2025.'

That background worked for Iron Eyes Cody. Cody was a member of that wild Sicilian tribe.
You are probably thinking of the famous grifter Rachel Dolezal.

Hmmmmmm, is she friends with lying lizzy warren??
She’s a liar. No statute of limitations on the truth.
“But it’s not okay for a non-Indian to pretend to be an Indian.”
It would have been fine if she transitioned. Is transitioned the proper term? I failed libtard vocab.
Don’t forget about Talcum X
Cher is NOT part Indian either? 😲
“It was never easy for me. I was born a poor, black child.”
Get back to me when Alice Munro’s OOnt is withdrawn. She and the publishing industry associated with her covered up her husband’s sexual abuse of her daughter so they could all cash in.
A despicable person.
Yes this masquerade has been publicly known for years. Just Canada is only now catching on I guess. Remember Sasheen Littlefeather, who went to the Oscars in place of Marlon Brando to make a speech about how badly Indians are treated? She was a fake Hollywood Indian too.
I have a small amount of knowledge about this.
My grandmother was very good friends with an ancestor of Cher through the mother’s side but I believe this person married into the family. I can’t remember. Something like married her grandmother’s sibling or something like that.
She said there was Indian blood in the family. Now, this could have been just one of those handed down stories from generations but Cher did have reason to believe she had Indian Heritage from an anecdotal basis.
I think she later disavowed Indian Heritage.
I understand. They should, if they can.
Unfortunately, she’s not a Cause du Jour.
She got treated much worse than Fauxchontas...Warren parlayed her lie into a political career where she has amassed generational wealth.
Now there’s a real Indian!! Oy vay!
Indigenous means people here first. So they are indeed, indigenous.

It just means they stole it from somebody else.
No
He does look like Spock.
Ironically, Leonard Nimoy often played Indians in his early days on TV.
They came from Mongolia.
