In case you were wondering why you haven’t heard of this woman:

“Sainte-Marie said in a 2008 interview at the National Museum of the American Indian^[48] that she had been blacklisted by American radio stations and that she, along with Native Americans and other Indigenous people in the Red Power movements, were put out of business in the 1970s.^[49]

In a 1999 interview at Diné College with a staff writer with Indian Country Today, Sainte-Marie said “I found out 10 years later, in the 1980s, that President Lyndon B. Johnson had been writing letters on White House stationery praising radio stations for suppressing my music” and “In the 1970s, not only was the protest movement put out of business, but the Native American movement was attacked.”^[50]

As a result of this blacklisting which Sainte-Marie claims was led by (among others) Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, and Nashville disc jockey Ralph Emery (following the release of I’m Gonna Be a Country Girl Again), Sainte-Marie said “I was put out of business in the United States”.^[51]“
