Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.
Buffy Sainte-Marie

Buffy Sainte-Marie
I feel sorry for people of good heart who have never had a chance to learn the realities of Native American everything - not just our history but the sweetness and the beauty and the reasons why were so close to Mother Earth.
