Folksinger Buffy Sainte-Marie got her start in the Greenwich Village scene and during the 1960s became an indigenous icon. In 1975 she showed up on “Sesame Street” proclaiming, “We want kids to understand that Indians exist. We really are real.” And as Buffy explained, “Cree Indians are my tribe, and we live in Canada.” That nation showered Sainte-Marie with awards, made her a companion of the Order of Canada, and even put her on a postage stamp.
In 2019, St. Marie appeared at a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) music festival, where she complained about “moms who have such a pride in family, maybe patriotism and tradition,” before her performance of “The Universal Soldier.” Behind the scenes, the CBC was busy checking birth records, newspaper accounts, and interviewing relatives. Last month, the CBC’s 6,000-plus-word report outed the soi disant Cree from Saskatchewan as Beverly Jean Santamaria, born in 1941 in Stoneham, Massachusetts, with no indigenous ancestry whatsoever.

The Critic.
“From the Indian Emperors who contained the nefarious ambitions of the East India Company, to the West African kings who resisted British demands and set the terms of the trade in enslaved people … this book retells the history of early Empire from the all too familiar story of conquest to one of empowering defiance and resistance.”
This extract comes from the publisher’s blurb of David Veevers’ ambitious and wide-ranging new book, The Great Defiance: How the World Took On the British Empire. To be sure, competing for shares of the market for slaves against European traders qualifies, at least technically, as “resistance” — but is that really of the “empowering” sort? Empowering to whom? Could a modern and progressive historian really write in praise of African slave-traders for being better at slave-trading than their European competitors?
Sure can. Look at all of the black people in the U.S. who affect Muslim names, despite the role that Muslim slave-traders had in the global traffic in African slaves. (I don’t see any Jews naming their kids ‘Adolf’ or ‘Heinrich’.)

Washington Free Beacon.
What happened: AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez, a radical left-wing IndoLatinx artist whose work focuses on “justice” and “liberation,” was living the dream at her first solo exhibition in Washington, D.C., until a thief ran off with two of her paintings.
“I feel violated, and I’m grieving the lost art, but mostly I’m feeling shocked at the boldness and thoughtlessness of entering a community space, and stealing art that is all about justice and liberation,” Velasco-Sanchez wrote in an Instagram post announcing the theft.
One of the stolen paintings, valued at $200 each, was titled Bountiful: The Land of Thoughts and Prayers. It dealt with “gun violence and state sanctioned violence in the United States,” the artist said on TikTok, a Chinese spyware app and social media platform.
And oh, was it ever ugly….
