Ummmm...is it true that Buffy left SS cuz she and Sheldon had split up and the writers thought kids back then wouldn't understand about divorce? I didn't grow up with her on the show so these clips are nice to see :)
I love this. Reminds me of when I was a kid, I always wanted to be on Sesame street, sometimes I even cried about it secretly. God bless my childhood, Amen
i probably thought she was CHER when i was a kid. CHER used to look more Native American than she does now after all that dam lifting. This woman is a legend here
She's certainly not Indian - your geography isn''t up to much. Nor is she "Native American - her people lived upon the land you stole thousand of years before anyone thought up the name "Ämerica". Her name - if she needs any - is your problem and her right.
@muppetfan33 sorry, I just found your comment funny... like if a black guy was humming some jazz at the beginning would you have referred to it as the "black humming"? No disrespect intended, peace.
I haven't seen this clip in over twenty years, but it's exactly like I remembered! Thank you so much for bringing back happy memories for first generation Sesame Street baby. :)
Thank you for sharing this. The singer is Buffy St. Marie, a pop singer in the 1960s. This performance was on Sesame St. in the early 1980s and possibly before that.
Fantastic! Finally, the "other" version (vs. Olivia's) is posted. I wonder what year this was done. Which version was broadcast first? The musical accompaniment sounds the same for both versions. Is there a recorded version of this available?
This is beautiful-although I love Olivia's version of the song just as much. Buffy was wonderful on Sesame Street. She looked like she really enjoyed being there.

Any idea who wrote this song? Is it something modern or an old Native American chant? It is heavenly.
