DoomsdaysCW<p>So, I am well aware of the controversy surrounding <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuffySainteMarie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BuffySainteMarie</span></a> and her heritage. But whether she is a pretendian (she claims to be adopted, something that&#39;s been disputed) or not, a lot of Native Americans accepted her as one of their own, and she had her pulse on what was going on with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AIM</span></a>... </p><p>Buffy&#39;s Censored Words Led to Revelations in New <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LeonardPeltier</span></a> Film Premiered at Sundance<br /> <br />&quot;My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium<br />Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped<br />The FBI cut off her hands and told us she&#39;d died of Exposure…&quot; <br />- Buffy Saint Marie, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, 1992.</p><p>By <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrendaNorrell" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BrendaNorrell</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CensoredNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CensoredNews</span></a>, Feb. 4, 2025 </p><p>TSAILE, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NavajoNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NavajoNation</span></a> -- &quot;The words of Buffy Sainte Marie, censored by Indian Country Today, led to revelations about Oglala President Dick Wilson&#39;s secret land deal on Pine Ridge in the new film Free<br />Leonard Peltier, which premiered at Sundance, producer <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JesseShortBull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JesseShortBull</span></a> told Censored News.</p><p>&quot;Buffy&#39;s interview at Dine&#39; College in 1999 was censored for seven years. Before I was fired as a staff reporter, a portion of the interview was published by the newspaper -- but one paragraph was still censored. In the still censored portion, Buffy referred to a secret land deal on the day of the shoot out at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JumpingBull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JumpingBull</span></a> property on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PineRidge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PineRidge</span></a>. Buffy said, &#39;Who recalls that on that day one-eighth of the reservation was transferred in secret -- on that day. It was the part containing uranium.
