Buffy on TV      

Buffy's  album  ‘Up Were We Belong’ received the 1997 JUNO Award for Best Music of Aboriginal Canada. It's available on EMI Records in the UK and Angel Records in the United States.  

In the spring of 1997, Buffy won a Gemini Award (Canada's version of an Emmy) for her performance in her third television special, "Up Where We Belong", now available on Videocassette, beating  both Celine Dion and Alanis Morrisette.

In March of 1992 in Canada at the JUNO Awards, (like the American Grammies) Buffy helped to establish the new category "Music of Aboriginal Canada".

In Paris, they named her "Best International Artist of 1993".

In 1994, Buffy received the Lifetime Achievement Award in her home province of  Saskatchewan by the Saskatchewan Recording Industry Association.  

The Canadian Recording Industry Association inducted Buffy into the JUNO Hall of Fame in 1995.  

She received another Lifetime Musical Achievement Award from First Americans in the Arts in San Francisco in February of 1996.

A digital artist since 1984, her digital paintings were the first large scale (8x9 feet) works to appear in major museums, including the Glenbow Museum in Calgary and the Institute for American Indian Arts Museum in Santa Fe.

Buffy was presented with the Louis T. Delgado Award as 1997's Native American Philanthropist of the Year  for her work in the Cradleboard Teaching Project. Through the White House, the President's Initiative on Race links to Cradleboard's website as representing Most Promising  Practices.

Buffy Sainte-Marie is a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Indian College Fund. She was recently inducted as an Officer in the Order of Canada, which is the highest civilian honour that country can bestow.

Buffy traveled to Regina, Saskatchewan (October 2002) to receive a Queen's Jubilee Medal, presented to her by The Lieutenant Governor of her home province of Saskatchewan. This is Buffy's second medal. The first was presented by the Queen herself in Ottawa in the late 70s after a concert Buffy had given. The first blew away in Hurricane Iniki, in 1992 when Buffy's house was destroyed.

Awards

Buffy limits her concert schedule to about thirty a year in order to devote  time to the Cradleboard Teaching Project.

Buffy Sainte-Marie founded the Nihewan Foundation for American Indian Education in 1968, whose Cradleboard Teaching Project presently facilitates communication among Native American and Mainstream children in Canada and the U.S., through the use of computer technology and a progressive Native Studies curriculum.  Information  can be found on the Official Buffy Sainte Marie web site.
