Buffy Sainte-Marie: Hi, my name is Buffy Sainte-Marie. And, you know, I travel a lot, I'm always checking in at hotels, checking in at airports, et cetera. And I have discovered that there are many, many different ways to misspell my name. The way my last name is spelled is S-A-I-N-T-E hyphen M-A-R-I-E. But some people just write St. M-A-R-I-E, or some people will say, "Oh, it's probably a French name, so that's probably feminine, Sainte-Marie," so they'll spell it Ste. M-A-R-I-E. Or, somebody else will spell S-A-I-N-T. I mean, there are so many different ways to misspell Buffy Sainte-Marie that I'm going to spell it for you right now. B-U-F-F-Y, S-A-I-N-T-E hyphen M-A-R-I-E. How do you spell your name?
