Buffy Sainte-Marie

Since her folksinging debut in 1964, singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie, a Cree Indian born in Canada, has been an avatar of the international protest movement and a performer of the first order. She wrote “Til It’s Time for You to Go” and “The Universal Soldier” in 1973, sang with Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, and the Muppets, and aided Native Americans through her foundation. Fifty years on, her voice has lost none of its presence and power.
