Buffy Sainte-Marie - Darling, Don't Cry (Music Video)

[@liketheroman]

No matter what her personal biography, she has created some beautiful art and generated greater awareness of First Nations issues.

[@VPCARLY]

This is my grandma. :) I love her voice. c: PIAPOT FIRST NATION.

[@keithepley2132]

You should be proud! I have loved your grandmother's music since I was in my teens. I am now 65. SHE is a force! And now on a Canadian postal stamp!!!

I met her and got her autograph. Best moment of my life. Blessing from my heart to yours 🙇🏽‍♂️🙏🏽🔥💯

Your grandma sings like 😇 and this song reminds me my late grandmother so much when we use to travel to pow wow with her she pass away 2011 🙏🏼❤️😞 I don’t dance anymore but everyone wants me gear up again

My daddy use to sing this song to me when i was young, every time he sang it to me, i would cry. Now, my daddy isn't here it hurts to hear this song, i miss my daddy. I always loved this song, I've always tried figuring this song out when i was a young girl. I wish my daddy would of sing this song to me one more last time before he left, i would of been happy, and sad at the same time. I just hope i meet him some time, REST IN PEACE DADDY! I MISS AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! I hope you can hear this song too, and i hope your singing along with it.

So much lying.

[@JeffreyRGriese]

that's exactly how I feel when I hear this song. I tried recently to summarise to some friends what this song evokes for me and you capture it precisely.

[@GranMastaDee]

So much bullshit...why is it always the Liberal-Left that is so insecure in their own skin that they create false identities Like E. Warren, aka Pocahontas, Rachel Dolezal, and others. Could it be that idealism is a Bastian for the gullible? After all, Justine Castro and the Biden Crime family are at the helm.

She's 75 , still beautiful and has lots of energy. I saw her at the Hillside Festival in Guelph, Ontario on July 25, 2016.

I bought this album when it first came out. I remember as a young boy the drummers that would go from teepee to teepee and sing songs late in the evenings at various powwows. This is a really good song. Makes me want to get up and dance with my walker. Yiihaa! CK Toronto, Canada

[@shawnagail2546]

My favorite song from Buffy, my uncle was one lucky man to have been in this music video with her. I AM A PROUD CREE WOMAN! Coming From Saskatchewan, Canada I love my heritage and where I come from, standing by my people 10000%

It's still a phenomenal song. The blending of styles and the soaring chants. Omg I love it

[@jojo123469]

I'm a Portuguese Canadian and I was told to go back to my Country at one time by some one who was not a real Canadian. I just shrugged it off and laughed. I strongly feel that the only persons that may say that to me are the Native indigenous people..These are the real Canadians. Thank you for letting me live here in Canada...

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

You wont find too many of them saying things like that either. Racism seems to run rampant in communities where their governments act supremacist.

[@jamessinclair2915]

I would never say that. Come one. Come all. There's room on these great plains for everyone!

Yeah those f... belong to the dummest living creatures on this planet. Undereducated coming probably from one of these poorer countries, no brains in the skull but wanna refuse other people to have a better life. Those should be deported on the spot no questions asked. Depending on the situation i might would have knocked his teeth out. But best is to ignore these flip flop wearing primates, cause they are not worth the trouble and your time. His attitude just shows what low life he is. You are better than him cause you at least can be proud as you contribute more to Canadian society by paying taxes and more and as a european born human you have a better attitude anyway. But those people who say something like that usually are cheap suckers Canada is great but the only problem is, they let too many of these low life's into this beautiful country. Enjoy life my friend and keep your head high. Don't let this get under your skin.

She reminds me of my mom. A very strong anishbaabe woman who stands up for herself and her people. My momma is my hero so strong to go through what she went through and still be so beautiful.

[@wendylamouche5148]

She's not even native. She's Italian. That broke my heart. But she is still repping the indigenous culture through indigenous music. She is still a great musician and person that I will keep sharing

[@RedEdgedSavage]

Well since it's you that says so then all has to be correct with it because ..what ?

[@RobertGareau-z2b]

I agree

[@adreabrooks11]

This bit about Buffy's heritage confuses me. She was adopted by a noted chief of the Piapot Nation. Imagine King Charles adopted a kid from Ghana. Would it be right to say that kid couldn't call himself English, or espouse British patriotism? Why, then, should Buffy not be allowed to say she's Cree, and sing of First National pride?

[@hmcdennis8459]

i cry. my daughter is half native i know she will be teased. I'm taking her to her first pow wow. i will show em she has the beat

[@Arkylie]

I don't often swear but I think this is warranted: Fuck off. A person chooses a mate based on many factors. Not all of them are rational. And you have zero cause to go critiquing her choice. Furthermore, you don't even know if there's a reason that a full-blooded offspring wasn't a choice for her. Maybe she lives in a region where there aren't a lot of native men to choose from. Maybe she was raped and decided to keep the baby. There's no betrayal in choosing the person you feel will make your life better, and having children with that person. Get over yourself.

[@angelaforsyth1092]

until you are a "halfbreed" you won't understand your daughter, and uhh, lighten up on the words you speak into your daughters life. "You know she will be teased," thanks ma :/ I wonder how much more of your white words she will have to endure.

Louis Reil Prophetically stated what would happen..today we see the fulfillment. Study his words if you can. A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING A MAN UPON WHICH A WOMAN COULD DEPEND This is from the point of veiw of a 3rd generation transplant on stolen ground.. STOLEN FROM WHOM ? The creator and the families of humanity he had caretaking over it..despite conflict..which would most likely have been resolved without shedding blood in most circumstance.. As for today the greed driven madness of those whom take what they see.. Well..in this day of truth..one could say they have had their wishes fullfilled..ignoreing real wealth.our creator loves us He has caused me to know this even about myself..how much moreso will he love and re identify those whom have been put to this test.
