More than a year after an investigation disputed the singer's claims of being Cree, she is losing the Canadian recognitions she has received.

Folk singer and social activist Buffy Sainte-Marie has been stripped of multiple major Canadian music awards after identity revelations suggest she is American.

Marie’s confirmation that she is not a Canadian citizen continues as two of the country’s most prestigious arts honors have been rescinded. According to the CBC today, the singer-songwriter’s Polaris Music Prizes and Juno Awards will be rescinded because she is not Canadian.
