Buffy St. Marie on Art, Politics, and Happiness

This week on Sprouts, we present a conversation with unstoppable and fierce legendary artist, educator and political activist Buffy Sainte-Marie.

Almost 50 years after the release of her first album, It’s My Way, Buffy continues to produce music filled fierce messages, eclecticism and passion.

She discusses being indigenous, demystification of the power elites, and creativity in an age of commodification, and her personal story.

This show was originally broadcast in November 2015.
