Detoxify self-perception with Buffy Sainte-Marie: Arizona State University (ASU)

Academy-Award winning musician and activist Buffy Sainte-Marie speaks at the Simon Ortiz and Labriola Center Lecture on Indigenous Land, Culture and Community.

With an introduction by Simon Ortiz, Buffy Sainte-Marie shares stories from her musical career, grassroots activism, Sesame Street in the 1970's, and being censored by Lyndon B. Johnson for her stance against the Vietnam War. She touches on the challenges and importance of education.

Sainte-Marie, a Canadian native, describes herself as a ""natural musician,"" whose love for music has crossed many genres, including rock, pop, powwow and folk. Artists such as Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Janis Joplin and Chet Atkins have covered her songs.

The Simon Ortiz and Labriola Center Lecture on Indigenous Land, Culture, and Community at Arizona State University addresses issues across disciplines in the arts, humanities, sciences and politics.
