Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, she regularly published her poetry and essays in the ''Christian Science Monitor'', and reported on her travels in China, West Africa, East Africa, and northern Europe. Her articles appeared in various US newspapers and magazines, including the ''Washington Post'', ''Boston Globe'', ''Chicago Tribune,'' ''International Wildlife'', ''Travel & Leisure'', ''Sierra'', ''Yankee Magazine,'' ''Downeast,'' and ''Reader's Digest.'' From 1981 onwards, she was also actively involved in oral history and community development projects with Micmac Indians in Maine. An award-winning author, Bunny has taught ethnographic writing and organized creative writing workshops. In 1999, she received an official commendation from the Maine State Legislature in recognition of the "tremendous contribution" made in her writings about Maine Indian women, in particular Penobscot dancer Molly Spotted Elk. The Maine Historical Society selected this acclaimed biography as one of the one hundred most "notable" books written in or about Maine (2000). A frequent visiting professor in cultural anthropology at Principia College, Elsah, Illinois (1981–1992) and the Salt Center for Documentary Field Studies, Portland, Maine (1995), Bunny has curated several museum exhibits in Maine.

An adjunct lecturer of cultural anthropology at Kansas State University, she now lives in the Flint Hills of Kansas with her husband, Dutch anthropologist Harald E.L. Prins. They have completed a co-authored study on the indigenous cultural history of Mount Desert Island, as well as the book ''Indians in Eden,'' and are collaborating on a life history of a Penobscot Indian combat veteran of World War II and the Korean War, as well as other books, articles, and museum exhibits. McBride was born in Washington, D.C., on 9 April 1950. She is the daughter of retired CBS Executive and NBC anchor Robert J. McBride and Cynthia Martin.
