Since ItB次元官网网址檚 My Way, Sainte-MarieB次元官网网址檚 1964 recording debut, she has carved a long, singular career of powerful songs and live performances. In 1969 she recorded one of the first electronic vocal albums and in 1982 she won an Oscar for co-writing the end theme song B次元官网网址淯p Where We BelongB次元官网网址� from the film Officer and a Gentleman. She remains the only Indigenous woman to win an Academy Award.

Sainte-Marie was a cast member on Sesame Street tor five years and the first woman to breastfeed on national television. She was blacklisted in the U.S. for years for her outspoken political views, but continued to have her songs recorded by Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Donovan, Jennifer Warnes, Joe Cocker and many others.

Her song B次元官网网址淯niversal SoldierB次元官网网址� remains the definitive anti-war anthem. SheB次元官网网址檒l probably sing it again at her local show in Sidney. DonB次元官网网址檛 miss her performance. Highest recommendation.
