[edit] What is Oriental Philosophy?

As long as I do not know the answer, I cannot find a suitable expression for the German version of the article. "Orientalische Philosophie" is just a verbatim translation, which I cannot find anywhere else. PSE take into account, that "oriental" refers to things of more or less Arabian origin, most of the time, in our language...

A discussion in the English/German language forum at LEO's would not provide me with a satisfactory translation.

PSE help, if you can. Have a laugh, if you cannot.., the sun is shining.

Verification is needed for the claim that Ms. Sainte-Marie holds a Ph.D in Fine Arts from the University of Massachusetts. The terminal degree for a professional artist is usually an MFA. I know several people who have associations with UMass and who hold PhD's in Art History/Fine Arts (the latter sometimes meaning studio art and sometimes Art History, depending on the institution) who have never heard that Sainte-Marie shares their degree. Can anyone come up with documentation?68.72.110.24 02:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gemini Award

I have added info about her Gemini Award and linked the page to the Gemini Award winners category.

[edit] Covered songs

Does anyone know which songs of hers were covered by any of the artists mentioned on her page (Chet Atkins, Cher, Neil Diamond, Donovan, Janis Joplin, Taj Mahal, Elvis Presley and Barbra Streisand) I am interested Rachel Ayres 02:50, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Now That The Buffalo's Gone"

page info indicates this song was initially released in 1967 - it was the first track on BSM's first album, "It's My Way", released 1964 - weed@wussu.com 82.34.22.145 08:18, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] possble discrepancies in article / more info possibly needed

I have read many articles on Ms. Sainte-Marie that say she was married to a gentleman named Dewaine Bugbee and that she has one son. Neither is mentioned in the article. Also, though all sources mention her personal and professional association with Mr. Nitsche, I never read in any other source that they were married. This apparent discrepancy puzzles me.

I think there ought to be some mention in this page about Ms. Sainte-Marie's life as an activist for various causes including Native American rights.

Tom

The Wikipedia article on Jack Nitzsche gives the date of Buffy's marriage to him as 1983, which makes more sense. According to Jimmy McDonough's Neil Young bio "Shakey," Nitzsche was involved with Young's ex, Carrie Snodgress, at least up until 1979 - when he was arrested for a violent assault on her. Which is all to say, I think that wedding date needs to be fact-checked.

[edit] 1993 Year of Indigenous Peoples

It is interesting that the 'Peoples' is sometimes indeed spelled People! Google hits are about 50 : 50. Hence, I've looked for resources on the net from 1992/1993, and voilà, I did find one good document: http://www.iadb.org/cultural/documents/encuentros/17383_93.3.pdf -andy 80.129.103.62 18:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
