About
NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts have brought us a high-spirited performance by the legendary artist Buffy Sainte-Marie, recorded just outside Toronto. The 81-year-old performer showcased her nearly 60-year career with songs ranging from protest anthems like "Universal Soldier" to love ballads, including her Academy Award-winning hit "Up Where We Belong." Sainte-Marie, known for her activism and folk music innovations, has focused on issues affecting Indigenous communities in her work, despite recent controversy over her claimed ancestry. She has won awards for both her music and activism, and in 1997 founded the Cradleboard Teaching Project to educate about Native American culture.
