In 2021 the Canadian Post issued a new stamp to commemorate the life and work of an Indigenous artist, musician, and activist. Happily a Canadian Postcrosser applied this stamp to a card advertising Buffy's 1996 performance at the Arden Theater in Albert, Alberta.
Beverly was born in 1941 to Cree parents in Saskatchewan, but raised by a Mi'kmaq family in the US. She began performing folk music in the 1960s, appeared on Sesame Street in the 1970s, and has released more than 15 albums of music. Her non-profit supports educational programs for Native youth.
