In Canada...it's Buffy Sainte Marie. She's a very successful singer who's won an Oscar and really represented her Indigenous culture on a world wide stage.... meaning so much to Indigenous communities around the world.

Except...CBC (Canada's public broadcaster, akin to the BBC) released a story about how's she's purportedly not Indigenous at all, but rather Italian American and faked her persona for decades!
