Buffy Sainte-Marie Human Design Chart

Buffy Sainte-Marie

American–Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, composer, visual artist, educator, pacifist, and social activist. While working in these areas, her work has focused on issues facing Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Sainte-Marie has been lauded as the first Indigenous person ever to win an Oscar. However, in 2023 media reports revealed that she was born in the USA to white parents of European ancestry and not in Canada as she claims. Her singing and writing repertoire includes subjects of love, war, religion, and mysticism. She has won recognition, awards and honours for her music as well as her work in education and social activism. In 1983, her song "Up Where We Belong," co-written for the film An Officer and a Gentleman, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 55th Academy Awards. In 1997, she founded the Cradleboard Teaching Project, an educational curriculum devoted to better understanding Native Americans. She has been married three times and has a son, Dakota "Cody" Starblanket Wolfchild. On 3 August 2023, Saint-Marie issued a statement announcing her retirement from live performances, due to health concerns. In October 2023, Sainte-Marie clarified her claims to indigenous identity in light of allegations that she is a "pretendian." Her 2018 authorized biography states she was "probably born" on the Piapot First Nation reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada. She claims she was adopted, and does not know where she was born or who her biological parents are. However, there is no known official record of her adoption. Early in her career, various newspapers referred to her as Algonquin, full-blooded Algonquin, Mi’kmaq, and half-Mi’kmaq. On 27 October 2023, CBC News published Sainte-Marie's official birth certificate. It indicates that she was born in Massachusetts, USA to her white, supposed adoptive parents, Albert and Winifred Santamaria. Her son with Dakota activist Sheldon Wolfchild has stated she obtained her claims to Native identity through "naturalization" and not by birth. To verify Sainte-Marie's early Mi'kmaq identity claims, her younger sister took a DNA test that showed she had "almost no" Native American ancestry and she says she's genetically related to Buffy's son, which would not be possible if Buffy was adopted as she claimed.

Rave Chart Analysis

Manifesting generator,
2/4 Hermit/Opportunist

Open aura
Not-Self: Anger and frustration
Strategy: Lust for life

Manifesting Generators make up around 31% of the world's population. Your Type combines the qualities of a Generator and a Manifestor. The Generator within you is full of energy, which means that nothing stops you from creating and working. The Manifestor in you makes you someone who takes the initiative. Like a Generator, though, you need to feel that internal cue before bringing your ideas to fruition. And you can swiftly transition from thought to action. Of course, this is when what you’re working on is genuinely important, even necessary, for you.

Pros of being a Manifesting generator

You come up with ideas and put them into action faster than any other Type. You can store a wealth of different thoughts in your head, are great at multitasking, and come up with the most efficient way to get this or that thing done. This is a tremendous asset both at work and outside of it.

Cons of being a Manifesting generator

Impatience is one of your biggest pitfalls. You’re always in a hurry to get it done—ASAP! As a result, you often neglect important details, and then have to go back and redo things. You experience aggravation because what you want is for the job to be done. However, there is wisdom in developing patience, and being attentive to each step along the way.
