So, she writes "I, myself, am of Indian ancestry." Signed, Buffy Sainte-Marie She says on this show that she's Cree. The Fifth Estate documentary definitely reveals the truth of the matter.
Wow! She is so terrific- so poised and confident- and so young! I wonder if the contestants and had any idea how great she was?! Have listened to her now for over 50 years.
Yes, so terrific, poised and confident! "I have long dark hair and brown skin, and I can sing and play a mouthbow. So long as I don't start talking with my hands, these people will eat it up with a spoon." She knew that people would buy into her crap.
The most ironic use of her music was when Nell Carter and Andy Gibb sang “Up Where We Belong” on *Gimme A Break!* That show’s title meant a mouthful in that episode!
When Orson Bean made that crack about Christopher Columbus, I immediately thought of one of the three ships on his voyage for Spain: the Santa Maria, which just happened to be Bluffy's real last name.
What a remarkable person, and considering her long artistic journey (this weekend celebrating her 80th birthday, no less) she is the more extraordinaire | LCA
How do you know that her brother didn't molest her? He might have, and that has nothing to do with her ancestry. That she wrote that letter to him may have been her traumatized way of calling him out for sexual abuse, and that abuse may have a lot to do with her wanting to be from an entirely different family and ancestry than she was from. While I don't know that, I am sure you don't know if she was molested or not.@@TheeLynnChase
@@glend.7865 You're drawing a long bow (no pun intended). I've met Bluffy, and she's a disrespectful piece of crap, treats paying customers horribly. Think she's a big star like Sophia Loren. Hey, wait a minute, maybe she *is* Sophia Loren!
Her and my Sister were like two young excited School Girls .They were checking out the latest pc, think it was a notebook? In the 90's! Instant Crush!!!! STILL!!!!
Its actually a sign of a singer that can't sing. "Caprino, which means 'goat-like' or 'little goat' in Italian, is a term used to describe a rapidly beating vibrato that sounds like a trill or like the bleating of a goat. It occurs when a vibrato is poorly executed, and a tremolo-like pulsation on only one note results, like the reiteration of a single pitch". She usually sings off key as well. Without the fake indigenous identity she never would have made it as a singer.
@@Arewal851 I didn't know the term "caprino", I always thought the vibrato was a sign of greater skill, because I had to work so hard to develop one. My best skill is holding a note longer than the average person because I'd learned to swim even before I learned to walk so breath control was the easiest part. I didn't know there was a term for the trill. . .
@@zxyatiywariii8 Its only the term for the (bad) vibrato that sounds like a goat. It is easy to do and is a sign of a singer who can't do a proper one. Buffy admits the she flunked every music class she ever took and also says that her enormous talent had her destined to be as famous as Michael Jackson and Madonna. Narcissists are like that. They believe they are better than everyone and never think they need to put in any effort.

I recognised her straightaway but was thrown when she said she came from Massachusets. She had even back then such a bearing and such a strong voice. She really is the woman who had it all, songwriting, singing, lyricist, passion and most of all a conscience. Thank you Buffy for your singing and your songs over so many years now.
Very true! Whatever her ancestry, she’s a good singer. Sadly, however, she will now be known as the singer who masqueraded as somebody she was not for 60+ years.
@@Attmay When I first heard the report about Buffy Sainte Marie, and her ancestral claims, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I am in my mid-60s. Being that age, I am (of course) a fan of music from the era of Buffy Sainte-Marie and all the great 1960s and 1970s pop, folk, and rock music. But my dad was a big fan of the 1930s big bands (Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, etc.), while Al Jolson and Bing Crosby were his favorite singers. I enjoyed listening to that music, and, indeed, do still listen to it every so often on the various online music services. I don’t think Buffy Sainte Marie totally darkened her face. Maybe she did use some darkening makeup, but I’ve had several Italian American friends, especially female, with dark enough features that they could indeed have passed themselves off as Native American/ First Nations to someone like me who is not Native American/ First Nations. I would love to hear Buffy’s real story: maybe in the early years assumptions were made that Buffy was Native American/First Nations, and she didn’t do anything to correct it. As the CBC report indicated, several of her family members had written to newspapers, trying to correct it, but the newspapers ignored it. My speculation (and it is purely speculation on my part) is that in Buffy Sainte Marie’s earlyyears of being a public figure, or somewhere along the line, someone told her she looked Native American/ First Nations. So she ran with it, became technically adopted by a tribe, or at least a family within a tribe (“community”), and has clung to that all these years. Al Jolson, as you correctly alluded to, did deliberately perform in black face. Allowing for the fact that Buffy Sainte Marie’s Italian ancestry may have made her darker than the average white person, I am not going to say that she “did an Al Jolson.” At the moment, that hasn’t come out yet! I must admit after I first watched the CBC Fifth Estate report here on RUclips, I immediately said to myself something like Al Jolson did it in the 1920s and now it is catching up with Buffy Sainte Marie in the 2020s. The only pass I’m giving her is that from looking at her hands, they appear to be darker than the average white person, again explainable with Italian American heritage. Al Jolson’s hands were obviously white, or he was wearing gloves, so you could not tell. I believe that Al Jolson said that he was using black face in honor of (and out of respect for) the black people- something like that. Maybe he felt it, but, to me, it seemed very flimsy. Al Jolson either mostly had no standing in the black community. Or the black community had a feeling of disdain (or even contempt) towards him. Eddie Cantor, another American white Jewish performer in the 1930s also used black face. The problem and the blessing for Buffy Sainte Marie is that she is or was held in such high regard by the Native American/ First Nations community. Perhaps if she were to “come clean”, I get the feeling that she would probably say something like she had such high regard for the Native American/First Nations community. As for Al Jolson, I realize that some Middle Eastern people of Jewish ancestry are dark. But he was of Russian/Soviet extraction, and definitely was white. A little later in the same week that I posted this, I am doing some slight proofreading (mostly grammar and context corrections and clarifications). I have not made any changes to the focus of what I wrote previously.
only one of these people is telling the truth and oooops. The Italian Joke over Silverheels has new meaning today. minute 4:50 Buffy says she is from Massachusetts, she tells the truth. minute 6:20, the confusion over canadian or massachusetts was already in place. She could be on Team America, she's a really good actor!
It is such an Honor to have heard this Beautiful Angel sing. Sure would Love to hear Her sing of the message from the Most High. Just Saying. I like Her Vocal Ability and I am very Impressed ! Great Wishes for You My Child. I see Butterflies 4u.
OMG thank you! I have never been able to listen to Buffy. Not just that she is usually off key but also the horrible goat vibrato. I thought her fans must really all be tone deaf! Dentist drill is the perfect analogy (and the patient is a goat 😆)
As a studio singer I tried hard to appreciate her writing skill the drilling never allowed my full respect. Now I highly doubt she wrote anything. Her life was 100% mind control MK Ultra coordination.
What's ironic is that it's now coming to light that the persona Buffy Saint-Marie built for the music industry was entirely fabricated., So technically, they are ALL imposters. Also, Tom Poston and I share Alma Maters. He is legendary for his shenanigans as a student at Bethany College...
I visited his grave at Hillside cemetery. He is one of the few non-Jewish people buried there because of his late-in-life marriage to Suzanne Pleshette who is buried next to him.

Intriguing show, and the only wrong guess was a good one never the less! Very nice song Buffy, I remember the multi-talented Bobby Darin singing it on his last great album 'If I Were A Carpenter'
Wow,what a great memory. This is ironical when Buffy is retiring from performing this year. I read her biography,it was really a great read. Best of luck in your retirement Buffy....This Canadian loves your music so much. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸📻🎵
Her Wikipedia page says she was born in Canada, so #3 was right, although through videos, in 2020, I knew it was #1 UPDATE: Her Wikipedia page says the following "Buffy Sainte-Marie was born at the New England Sanitarium and Hospital in Stoneham, Massachusetts" She is still alive, and on February 20, 2023, she celebrated her 82nd birthday.
@@retriever19golden55 You are right, and Wikipedia does have her as being born in Massachusetts "Buffy Sainte-Marie was born at the New England Sanitarium and Hospital in Stoneham, Massachusetts" (Wikipedia)
Peggy Cass at 5:50 beat CBC by 56 years. She was on to it - “the REAL one is from Massachusetts.” Yep. Orson Bean at 2:45 was also on to something by the “married an Italian” joke.
Melania Trump is no bimbo. She speaks six languages and is the power behind the throne of Donald Trump. If it weren't for Melania, Trump would be playing golf and enjoying his life instead of sacrificing his peace, his treasure, his energy, his time and risking his life to save America.
Neither one of those women has flagrantly lied about her ancestry. Both of those women are exactly what they present themselves to be: women who enjoy the glamorous life. Bluffy Ain't A Cree, on the other hand, is a fraud.
Thank you both. I just saw the news. I can’t believe i got fooled again! First that Mexican-American Sacheen Littlefeather, now this Italian American Buffy tsk tsk
Probably she started a Schtick to get press then by the time she became famous she couldn’t stop it. U have to agree very talented musician. At least that’s not fake.
@@iVenge She built an entire career on lies. She landed her job on SESAME STREET *only* because the makers of the show thought she was Cree. She's a thief.
@@iVengeShe scammed an entire nation and stole money and awards from real native women…so no, I’d say the public is owed a real explanation and an apology
@@chilo8187 She owes nothing. She didn’t steal anything from anyone. She was given things based upon her talent and actions, that you wrongly assume would have been given to other people just because of their race. How silly.
Про Баффи я узнала, когда увидела в ежемесячном журнале "кругозор" её портрет на первой странице. Он издавался в СССР. Мне было 12лет и я очень долго её рассматривала. От неё исходил свет и загадочность. И мне так захотелось узнать больше об этой женщине.... Прошли годы, появился интернет. И моё желание исполнилось! 🥰
Why were the other two ladies of Spanish last names? they were chosen because they looked native and that is because all Native Americans all persons of Latin descent are Native Americans.
Some natives in the southern US have Spanish names, just as some natives in Canada have French names. There were instances of intermarriage since contact.
The public were so used to obvious fakes from movies and TV shows that somebody who put more effort into such chicanery could have easily fooled them and did.
There is no doubt that Buffy ( or Beverley) is a fantastic songwriter. Hey, there is nothing wrong with changing your name to suit who you are as an entertainer. Many have done so. It is the rest of her “ story” that is problematic:(
@@ValleyoftheRogue You are missing my point…”Beverley” to “Buffy”. I realize her family changed their surname due to anti-Italian sentiment back in the 50s.
You don't know the parents didn't call her "Buffy" as a nickname in childhood. And I doubt you ever will know it because everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie.
@@RosePetal17 Buffy was a common nickname for Elizabeth in the mid twentieth century (and was probably in her case used as a pet name for Beverly and seems to predate her career as a folk singer). e.g. The old sitcom Family Affair had a little girl named Buffy, and later in the 90's came the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It has no Indigenous/First Nation connotations. Both her first name and surname are totally unrelated to the allegations against her.
Although this is a black-and-white kinescope, I believe the prime-time version of "to Tell The Truth" went color in the fall of 1965, and the daytime version went color sometime in 1966 (maybe the Summer or Fall). Thus, if this was from the prime-time version, it was likely originally seen in color.
It's possible. You can usually tell by comparing an older kinescope, made from a B&W broadcast, with a kinescope make from a color broadcast. The two have very different looks. I haven't looked at this particular one in a while. The kinescopes of the last season of "What's My Line?" are very obviously different in this regard. Everyone looks so...I dunno, tanned. Among other things.
Alot of the G-T gameshows of the mid to late 60s were originally broadcast in color along with a Kinescoped recording as you see here. It was practice in those days to reuse color video tapes so the majority of color episodes of G-T panel shows were wipped out leaving only the Kinescoped versions intact. A handful of TTTT '68 color episodes exist today.
The name of this show now has a whole new meaning.
Paddymow1. It sure does! You’ve got that one correct.
Yep. Top shelf irony.
It's very sad. It's obvious she has a deep respect for native culture but she should not have created a false identity. It's like Hilaria Baldwin.
Oh my gosh, what a show for her to be on!
@@carolfraz588 and Elizabeth Warren and Rachel Dolezal and Michelle Latimer. Why do leftist women do this to themselves ?
I can't help but roll my eyes a little, given what we know now.
0:54 being sponsored by margarine instead of real butter just adds to the irony of this episode.
When she's sang 'Until it's time for you to go' , I teared up. She sang it so beautifully

I agree. Buffy Sainte-Marie was so pretty here ❤
Just in time, as her ruse has been exposed.
How funny that this program was brought to you by margarine--the fake butter! LOL
Buffys music is timeless, and her beauty's ageless.
Because she claimed not to know when she was born?
Oh, she's aged, alright.
Ironic that the show is called To Tell the Truth.
The irony of it😮
Oh , Bud in ski , you can't say that !!!!
BUFFY'S...... ITALIANO
Italiana.
What a very ironic twist of fate right here. Holy shit… 😮😮😮
Her Wikipedia page says she was born in Canada, so #3 was right, although through videos, in 2020, I knew it was #1 UPDATE: Her Wikipedia page says the following "Buffy Sainte-Marie was born at the New England Sanitarium and Hospital in Stoneham, Massachusetts" She is still alive, and on February 20, 2023, she celebrated her 82nd birthday.
I don't think the panel asked where they were born, they asked where they were from.
@SunnyDaze-uq8ed lick me.
St. Marie was *not* born in Canada, no matter what her Wiki says. Her birth certificate says Massachusetts.
@@retriever19golden55 You are right, and Wikipedia does have her as being born in Massachusetts
"Buffy Sainte-Marie was born at the New England Sanitarium and Hospital in Stoneham, Massachusetts" (Wikipedia)
@@retriever19golden55 How really cares where she is from. Buffy Sainte-Marie was so pretty here ❤
She stood there and smiled when the guy called her primitive
Buffy should've been on Believe It Or Not...
To tell the truth, I'm italian!
Peggy Cass at 5:50 beat CBC by 56 years. She was on to it - “the REAL one is from Massachusetts.” Yep. Orson Bean at 2:45 was also on to something by the “married an Italian” joke.
This is the kind of women we should honor
instead of bimbos like Kim Kardashian or Melania Trump.
Melania Trump is no bimbo. She speaks six languages and is the power behind the throne of Donald Trump. If it weren't for Melania, Trump would be playing golf and enjoying his life instead of sacrificing his peace, his treasure, his energy, his time and risking his life to save America.
Neither one of those women has flagrantly lied about her ancestry. Both of those women are exactly what they present themselves to be: women who enjoy the glamorous life.
Bluffy Ain't A Cree, on the other hand, is a fraud.
the last song is so sad ....
Real Native American beauty 😍
She's not a Native American, she's white, says so on her birth certificate.
She's a beautiful Italian woman.
Thank you both. I just saw the news. I can’t believe i got fooled again! First that Mexican-American Sacheen Littlefeather, now this Italian American Buffy tsk tsk
How ironic. She has no idea how to tell the truth.
Probably she started a Schtick to get press then by the time she became famous she couldn’t stop it. U have to agree very talented musician. At least that’s not fake.
She told as much truth as you are entitled to.
@@iVenge She built an entire career on lies. She landed her job on SESAME STREET *only* because the makers of the show thought she was Cree. She's a thief.
@@iVengeShe scammed an entire nation and stole money and awards from real native women…so no, I’d say the public is owed a real explanation and an apology
@@chilo8187 She owes nothing. She didn’t steal anything from anyone. She was given things based upon her talent and actions, that you wrongly assume would have been given to other people just because of their race. How silly.
I didn’t know she wrote that beautiful song.
Its because it sounds like other songs. Not long now before we discover she plagiarized the songs along with her identity.
@@Arewal851 Did she really?? Do you have a source on the plagiarism?
Про Баффи я узнала, когда увидела в ежемесячном журнале "кругозор" её портрет на первой странице. Он издавался в СССР. Мне было 12лет и я очень долго её рассматривала. От неё исходил свет и загадочность. И мне так захотелось узнать больше об этой женщине.... Прошли годы, появился интернет. И моё желание исполнилось! 🥰
Well, now you've probably found out that she's a huge liar.
@@Mousehansen It doesn´t matter..!! Buffy Sainte-Marie was so pretty here ❤
Wow, so she was even famous in the Soviet Union?
@@zxyatiywariii8 yes
Интересно! Но я рада что вы знаете теперь.
I always followed her
Why were the other two ladies of Spanish last names? they were chosen because they looked native and that is because all Native Americans all persons of Latin descent are Native Americans.
The woman from Mexico only has a Spanish last name, her first name seems to be Indigenous
Some natives in the southern US have Spanish names, just as some natives in Canada have French names. There were instances of intermarriage since contact.
@@fairieale She was from New Mexico, and she said that she was Apache.
But, how is it possible the people didn't recognise Buffy anyway?
The public were so used to obvious fakes from movies and TV shows that somebody who put more effort into such chicanery could have easily fooled them and did.
The vibrato was a deliberate way to position her voice. I always found it a bit annoying.
There is no doubt that Buffy ( or Beverley) is a fantastic songwriter. Hey, there is nothing wrong with changing your name to suit who you are as an entertainer. Many have done so. It is the rest of her “ story” that is problematic:(
Her family changed their name, not her.
@@ValleyoftheRogue You are missing my point…”Beverley” to “Buffy”. I realize her family changed their surname due to anti-Italian sentiment back in the 50s.
You don't know the parents didn't call her "Buffy" as a nickname in childhood. And I doubt you ever will know it because everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie.
@@RosePetal17 Buffy was a common nickname for Elizabeth in the mid twentieth century (and was probably in her case used as a pet name for Beverly and seems to predate her career as a folk singer). e.g. The old sitcom Family Affair had a little girl named Buffy, and later in the 90's came the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It has no Indigenous/First Nation connotations. Both her first name and surname are totally unrelated to the allegations against her.
@@poemaboutthemanfromnantucket I know that “Buffy” is a nickname, and remember Buffy on Family Affair:)
Oh the Irony.
Is #3 photographer Vicky Racimo better known as Victoria Racimo the actress?
Lovely
If Taylor Swift could write something this beautiful I'd listen to her.
To Tell The Truth.
Buffy St Marie: Instructions unclear
Wow.
well, that's a show she should never have been on, having lied throughout her whole career. She's an American Italian, not native.
Although this is a black-and-white kinescope, I believe the prime-time version of "to Tell The Truth" went color in the fall of 1965, and the daytime version went color sometime in 1966 (maybe the Summer or Fall). Thus, if this was from the prime-time version, it was likely originally seen in color.
It's possible. You can usually tell by comparing an older kinescope, made from a B&W broadcast, with a kinescope make from a color broadcast. The two have very different looks. I haven't looked at this particular one in a while.
The kinescopes of the last season of "What's My Line?" are very obviously different in this regard. Everyone looks so...I dunno, tanned. Among other things.
Alot of the G-T gameshows of the mid to late 60s were originally broadcast in color along with a Kinescoped recording as you see here. It was practice in those days to reuse color video tapes so the majority of color episodes of G-T panel shows were wipped out leaving only the Kinescoped versions intact. A handful of TTTT '68 color episodes exist today.
Who the fcuk cares. How does this comment make the world a better place. Trying to make yourself look intelligent?
Do you make such comments to help others or make yourself feel more relevant?
@@h.skiprobinson7668 jeezus mr
Did he just say, "primitive?"
So did Buffy
Primitive has seven different meanings in the English language.
the embodiment of "Quiet Power"
Margarine! Help!
Turns out, all three ladies were "imposters"!!
Fake.
🧡🇨🇦🧡
I believe her. She brought a lot of happiness to millions of people.
Still have my tickets from the DAR in DC. I was running late, so they didn’t tear them in half. Buffy is stiff one of my favorites.
