Pretendians are a
perpetual problem.
We've lost 2 icons recently.
Buffy Sainte-Marie is
not a Canadian Cree.
She is an Italian
named Beverly Jean
Santamaria, born in
Stoneham, Massachusetts.
Sacheem Littlefeather was
actually Marie Louise Cruz,
neither Yaqui nor Apache.
Both of them arguably did
help the Native community,
yet the fact that they
claimed to be someone
they weren't indicates
that they were mainly
interested in self promotion.
The revelation of their
lies has wounded the
souls of those of us
who respected them.
