She's
a legendary Cree singer, songwriter and activist who has won numerous
awards over her six-decade career. And if that wasn't enough,
Buffy-Sainte Marie is also the author of three books for children.
Her latest picture book, Tâpwê and the Magic Hat,
illustrated by Michelle Alynn Clement, tells the story of a little boy
longing for a summer adventure. After he receives a mysterious magic hat
from his kokhom (grandmother), he gets more than he bargained for — and
learns some lessons along the way.
Sainte-Marie spoke with The Next Chapter's Shelagh Rogers about the long path from first envisioning the story that eventually became Tâpwê and the Magic Hat to publishing the book in both English and Cree. Listen to the new CBC Podcast, Buffy, celebrating the life and legacy of Buffy Sainte-Marie

an artist and an activist, Buffy Sainte-Marie has always been ahead of
her time – whether it comes to messages about the Vietnam War,
residential schools or the environment. Now, at 80-years-old, it seems

to being embraced by a new generation of Indigenous artists, the
Saskatchewan First Nation-born musician has been experiencing something
of a renaissance in recent years. Piya Chattopadhyay spoke with
Sainte-Marie on the weekend marking her 80th birthday, about what has
made her the inspirational figure she is today. |

When Hentz moved to Massachusetts in 2004 she began to tirelessly investigate numerous adoption programs, such as the Indian Adoption Projects and ARENA (The Adoption Resource Exchange of America). Both involved moving (trafficking) Native American babies and children across North America into adoptions with non-Native families. After her 2009 memoir, “One Small Sacrifice” and a second edition, which followed in 2012, Hentz met more adoptees and asked them to write their personal narratives, which resulted in five anthologies: “Two Worlds: Lost Children” (2012), “Called Home: The RoadMap,” (updated sec
