I am Unangan , Alutiit-Suqpiat. a native Alaskan and a elder. She has made absolutely no sacrifices as a real indigenous person would have. She lied and is still lying. Excusing her behavior advances the colonial mentality. Don't speak up, know your place. No native ceremony excuses her greed and lying.

Has nothing to do with what she’s experienced or who adopted her. She could always choose to shed her costume if she had wanted to. I can’t understand how you don’t see her interloping as the ultimate act of colonialism. She has literally taken food out of indigenous mouths and silenced authentic voices.

Native people are so kind....I understand what you are saying..there's also the side of her Italian family..she's caused a lot of harm to her brother..also the blame of her mother , that was really hurtful ...and she has a niece, she lied throu her teeth...I don't care for Buffy Beverly..but what she has done to both sides is unforgivable...

Wise words. Just some thoughts tho... Being adopted does not make you indigenous and she should have respected the honor of being adopted by being honest and not base it on a lie. Would she have been adopted if they knew the extent of the lies especially in the sixties when indigenous people were finally standing up to the lies of their rights and treatment. Also, a lie by omission is not the same as deliberate outright lies.

You can support any cause you want but support has far more credibility if you refrain from telling absolute lies about your background. Capitalising on pretending to be a member of the group you are supporting is divisive and shows a complete lack of moral fibre and self-respect, not to mention in this instance, the disrespect shown to Saint Marie's blood family.

You have an unusual, broad and forgiving viewpoint of the expose of the Pretendian Buffy Saint Marie. One cannot argue with the Fifth Estate investigation findings. We have been deeply shocked and disappointed by all this. Who knows what far reaching implications might arise from this scandal. Thank you for your calm words.

You're missing the point. As a Navajo, I don't care that non-Natives are "adopted" by Native groups or "create" their own "tribes;" I care that this Italian lady downright lied about her identity. She lied, manipulated and benefitted from those lies and manipulations.
