  • The Polaris Music Prize, presented by CBC Music and produced by Blue Ant Media, releases its second Polaris Collaboration Session featuring 2015 Polaris winner Buffy Sainte-Marie and 2014 winner Tanya Tagaq.
    "You Got To Run (Spirit Of The Wind)" was written by Sainte-Marie and inspired by champion dogsled racer George Attla, who competed in the first-ever Iditarod dog sled race in 1973 and was the subject of the 1979 film, Spirit Of The Wind.
    Presented by Stingray Music and supported by Canada Council, the purpose of the Polaris Collaboration Session is to get two Polaris nominees in the same room to create a whole new piece of music.
    A full interview with Sainte-Marie and Tagaq as part of Polaris Podcast EP5 can be found at the Polaris Music Prize Soundcloud page ( / polarismusicprize .

      She has no native blood , she’s a fake. Fifth Estate found irrefutable proof. This woman brought awareness to natives but also got paid thousands more than other folk singers and received aboriginal awards she shouldn’t have accepted. Her white family is also interviewed and have pictures of this white woman growing up as a child in America.

      Yep I got into Buffy Sainte-Marie's music in the 80's when I was into Metallica etc and not long after reading Dee Brown's Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee. I used to listen to BS-M's 'Coincidence and Likely Stories' alongside Master of Puppets and '...And Justice For All'. They both tell the same stories of a society that underneath is very nasty. Naomi Kleins books 'Shock Doctrine' on neoliberalism and 'This Changes Everything' on climate change are the kind of books that go along with Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee as they speak of the excesses of greed and power at the expense and suffering of a great many people. Neoliberalism at its heart seems to have that same self righteousness as manifest destiny. Anyway some nice grounding native music are the intertribals, Black Lodge Singers and Buffy's track 'Darling Don't Cry'.

    I have lived in Alaska most of my life driving sled dogs. I first heard this song in a movie long ago about George Attla, the famous dog musher from the interior of the State (who is my dog mushing hero and friend). This song for 35 years has been my favorite and I have had family looking for a copy of it all these years . The Movie, Spirit of the Wind which she sings a number of songs in is my absolute favorite movie. A friend finally let me know about the song being here and I told him that just days before I said to myself before I die I want to get a copy of this song. Buffy Sainte- Marie sings with true spirit of the wind. Made my day. Thanks, Stan

      I gotta try and check out the movie. This song brings out a deep drive to dump the lower 48 and run for my dream of perusing my life in rural AK. I am a machinist and furniture maker which I am sure would be financially better than where I live now where everyone wants things for absolute free- . City people suck only worry about money and how to screw each other. It ain't right.

I wish I had better words for it... anyway, I must find this movie again so that I can watch it whenever I feel like giving up on everything...thank you posting this amazing music...thank you Buffy, for sharing your wonderful spirit...

    This white guy had his hair blown back... Don't know Tanya, but I do know Buffy, and I admire two things, that she's become ever more direct in her "truth telling, and that she's always encouraged native traditional music (all those years ago with her mouth bow) now with Tanya throat singing. Its new to me, and now I'll be paying attention to Tanya and what she has to say over time.
    I also love that the Standing Rock event where peace was so effectively waged has galvanized the tribes, and that Buffy isn't about to let that solidarity fade.
    Continue please... Go forth and be powerful. You set the example for the entire world.

Every time I hear the choral piece, I start to cry. When I sing along with it, it makes me feel something authentic inside; something that makes me feel like I'm part of something universal. That's a hard feeling to come by for me, and I'm so grateful to have found this.

    Amazing, haunting, beautiful, inspiring. I saw the film with this song back in '83. (Spirit of the Wind) Tracked down the makers - a couple of geniuses who took a handful of people out in the wilderness and literally put this together with a couple of cameras. But then they ran out of money and though they finished the film, they were broke and sold the rights, so it was never released in the US.
    I got in touch with Buffy many years ago to see if she would ever be interested in doing these songs on her own. We had a sincerely mutually anguished conversation regarding how lame it was that the film, 'Spirit', had been released in France but not in the US. And now, here it is. I cannot believe this is online now - thank you, thank you - there is a God.

      I think the 'Ronde' dog sled race people in Anchorage sell this film. Google, 'Ronde', along with 'Spirit of the Wind'. Also - check Amazon, but make sure you get the right film - (I think 'Spirit of the Wind' is also the name of another film or book that came up when I checked on Amazon.)

    NOTE: SONG LYRICS BELOW I heard this song in late 1980 when I went to see Spirit of the Wind in Las Vegas, NV. I was so moved by both the movie and the song. I looked for it for many years to show up on one of Buffy's albums. With this special production I have to say it has been worth the wait. I grew up on a Reservation in Northern CA. Her albums were played over and over in school, and pretty much everywhere. I have followed her every since, about 47 years, I'd say. This song is so special and the words are so powerful, especially in Indian Country. I feel like they could really make a difference for anyone looking for hope. I found Polaris Podcast Episode 5 where she talks about the lyrics and from there, and listening to this song over and over, I transcribed what I am hearing. Please pardon any mistakes in structure or transcriptions. This format is not letting me lay it out as I would want to. Thanks Buffy for these powerful lyrics, and for introducing me to Tanya Tagaq. I'm a fan already. Also, for the shout-out to Standing Rock near the end of the song! YOU GOT TO RUN (SPIRIT OF THE WIND) Whether you're a women or whether you're a man, sometimes you got to take a stand. Just because you think you can, you got to run, you got to run. Whether you're a women or whether you're a man, sometimes you got to take a stand. Just because you think you can, you got to run, you got to run. Trying against the odds you're in a trance. Who did you think you are to have a chance? You're a no-one from a place where everyone knows your face. Come and go away, and they know the son. So you better hang on and hey, you better run. Cuz here's your chance and your race has begun. Down in a hole. You feel like two different people in your soul. Feel like a loser until you see that as you bend you learn to be your own best friend, and you learn how, and you learn when, to take a chance on the spirit of the wind. Whether you're a women or whether you're a man sometimes you got to take a stand. Just because you think you can, you got to run, you got to run. Babe, hey, we've been down. We've been so broken been so low that I kissed the ground. But you can see yourself a winner beyond the money and the greed. Beyond the pride is a pure and tested need to be a champion is more than luck and speed, it's power and freedom in the spirit of the wind. Whether you're a women or whether you're a man sometimes you got to take a stand. Just because you know you can, you got to run, you got to run. STANDING ROCK!

      You're right Thomas, this song is great for anyone looking for hope. It was pretty much my soundtrack as I applied for school last year, played it over and over. And now as a 55 year old indigenous woman I've been accepted into the program to become a counselor (taught by first nations teachers!). This song gave me the fire and courage to walk through my fears and go for it. I will always be grateful for this song. Thank you Buffy and Tanya and the other wonderful musicians!

If only we would've left them alone, then maybe this continent would still have a chance. I read "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" when I was 12 and still cherish the fact that I finally got the FACTS about who did what...and my history books had it all wrong,

It feels like after going to many powwows in my life not understanding the songs, and then suddenly something clicks and they are reaching through language and time, and you finally understand, and that message hits you like lightening...

    I went down several rabbit holes on RUclips 2 days ago. Stayed up til 4. Was about to finally go to sleep when I saw a reaction video off to the side, and he was reacting to Buffy? Had to click on that. Stayed up til 4:30 listening to it again and again. I'm up to at least 50 plays at this point. Absolutely amazing song. Within the first 10 seconds I was hooked. Telling everyone about this. I really like her, but I obviously haven't paid enough attention lately if I went 6 years without checking in on her. I am ashamed that I missed out on this for this long.
