BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE

Dec. 13, 19'0

“The best-known fighter for the American Indian since Geronimo is a spunky, sexy, 100-pound girl named Buffy Sainte-Marie.” We apologize for Parade’s description of the Native American folksinger, 29, who was a member of the Cree tribe. SainteMarie’s biggest hit was “Until It’s Time for You to Go.” She set up a foundation to help young Native Americans go to school and made her own clothes, from a yellow mini to a purple velvet tunic. “Just don’t look for me in buckskin and fringes,” she said.
