''Cultural studies. Vol. 9, no. 1, First peoples: cultures, policies, politics''. London: Routledge. pg. 111; ISBN 0-203-98575-3〕 She was later adopted, growing up in Massachusetts, with parents Albert and Winifred Sainte-Marie.〔(Encyclopedia of the Great Plains ) entry by Paula Conlon, University of Oklahoma, edited by David J Wishart〕 She attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, earning degrees in teaching and Oriental philosophy and graduating in the top ten of her class.〔(45 Profiles in Modern Music ) by E. Churchill and Linda Churchill, pgs. 110–2〕 She went on to earn a Ph.D in Fine Art from the University of Massachusetts in 1983. In 1964 on a return trip to the Piapot Cree reserve in Canada for a Powwow she was welcomed and (in a Cree Nation context) adopted by the youngest son of Chief Piapot, Emile Piapot and his wife, who added to Sainte-Marie's cultural value of, and place in, native culture.〔''Buffy Sainte-Marie: A Multimedia Life (Director's Cut)'' DVD, distributed by Filmwest Associates of Canada and the US, (), 2006〕 In 1968 she married surfing teacher Dewain Bugbee of Hawaii; they divorced in 1971. She married Sheldon Wolfchild from Minnesota in 1975; they have a son, Dakota "Cody" Starblanket Wolfchild. That union also ended and she married Jack Nitzsche in the early 1980s. She currently lives in Hawaii. Although not a Bahá'í herself, she became an active friend of the Bahá'í Faith by the mid-1970s when she is said to have appeared in the 1973 Third National Bahá'í Youth Conference at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and has continued to appear at concerts, conferences and conventions of that religion since then. In 1992, she appeared in the musical event prelude to the Bahá'í World Congress, a double concert "Live Unity: The Sound of the World" in 1992 with video broadcast and documentary.〔(Bahá'ís and the Arts: Language of the Heart ) by Ann Boyles, also published in 1994–95 edition of ''The Bahá'í World'', pgs. 243–72〕 In the video documentary of the event Sainte-Marie is seen on the ''Dini Petty Show'' explaining the Bahá'í teaching of progressive revelation.〔''Live Unity:The Sound of the World'' A Concert Documentary, VCR Video, distributed by Unity Arts Inc., of Canada, © Live Unity Enterprises, Inc., 1992〕 She also appears in the 1985 video "Mona With The Children" by Douglas John Cameron. However, while she supports a universal sense of religion, she does not subscribe to any particular religion: "I gave a lot of support to Bahá'í people in the '80s and '90s … Bahá'í people, as people of all religions, is something I'm attracted to … I don't belong to any religion. … I have a huge religious faith or spiritual faith but I feel as though religion … is the first thing that racketeers exploit. … But that doesn't turn me against religion …" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buffy Sainte-Marie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
