Buffy Sainte-Marie, is a Canadian musician, composer, visual artist, educator, and social activist. Throughout her career in all of these areas, her work has focused on issues of indigenous peoples of the Americas. In any of Buffy’s albums one will find decorous waltzes, among lyrical efflorescences weighted with imagery which grants an occasional glimpse of a steel mind. Her French style torchers have all the gripping qualities of that superannuated mode, combined with unconventional love song lyrics.

Recently, Buffy adorns her native habiliment as she undertakes a partnership with the RSO seeking to promote a dialogue of truth and reconciliation surrounding the atrocities inflicted upon Native Americans by the white man. The partnership includes a Regina-based concert at the Conexus Art Center on October 11th which I’ve attended, followed by a tour of three First Nations communities across southern Saskatchewan, with a focus on Treaty 4 land. Herein, I will examine two songs Buffy played during her Oct 11th concert and offer an inchoate critique of her performance.

According to them, there are two kinds of female artists. The strong, more established female artists portray women as “fully equal.” These women are in their thirties at least, they are more established, and they dress in casual suits. They sang romance, female emancipation, and heartbreak like the rest, but they did not compromise their image in their videos. They use Trisha Yearwood as an example in her song Everybody Knows. The other type, were women who “fell into the lowest level on the consciousness scale.” They used Deana Carter’s song We Danced Anyway as an example. In this song she rolled on the beach in a wet t-shirt. Another one is Faith Hill’s song Breathe. In this song, Hill is seen rolling around in her bed sheets with no clothes on.

The captivating tune intrigued radio listeners from around the world, becoming the first song by a female solo artist to steal the number one spot on Nielsen BDS-based Alternative Chart since Tracy Bonham’s “Mother, Mother” in 1996, five months before Lorde was even born (Billboard Magazine). “Royals” went on to accomplish much more than just that.

The hit song was also nominated for four GRAMMY Awards in 2013, winning two: Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance (Grammy.com) Who would have guessed that the biggest breakout star of 2013 would be a disarmingly regular teenager and would set the mark for the longest lead female reign in a twenty-five-year history of the Billboard Alternative Music Chart (Trust, Gary)?

Whitney Houston is considered as one of the greatest singers of our generation. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, she holds the record of being the most rewarded female artist of all time. I chose her as my topic, because she represents resiliency and tenacity, despite her troubled experiences with drugs and her personal life. Whitney Houston comes from a family with an amazing, musical pedigree; her mother, Cissy Houston, was a successful back-up singer for Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley. Dionne Warwick is her first cousin and Aretha Franklin is her godmother.

I remember it clearly, the day that she died. Even though I tried my hardest to ignore those memories of hers, they kept coming back to me. There was no way that I could forget them, they were just too thrilling. Her raspy voice, her soft skin, her chapped lips, her hot tears, her pleading, everything about Celine was perfection. Celine, that was her name. Celine was my first trophy. She was my first victim.
