| PERFORMER | Buffy Sainte-Marie |
| DEBUT | 1975 |
Buffy appeared on Sesame Street from 1975 to 1981. She first appeared in episode 0802, at the start of Season 7.
Buffy has a husband named Sheldon and a son named Dakota (aka Cody), who was born in Season 8.
When Cody was born, and everybody's attention turned to him, Big Bird shut himself in his nest area, posting a "KEEP OUT! This means you!" sign on his door. Buffy explained to Big Bird, in song, that she loves "different people in different ways."
Buffy breastfed Dakota in one episode; a former Canadian politician recently commented that "I remember seeing that and thinking about how proud she made aboriginal women because nursing is a part of our culture. During those days it was kind of a hidden thing, so to see Buffy doing it on Sesame Street was really something."[1]
In Season 9, most of the Sesame Street gang traveled to Hawaii to visit Buffy and her family, who, at the time, lived there on a Native American reservation.
2011 breastfeeding petition
The website Care2 launched a press release called "Bring Breastfeeding Back to Sesame Street!", started on January 2, 2012. Comparing Buffy with previous segments, the group sought to have breast feeding shown alongside bottle feeding. In response, Sesame Workshop noted that their current curriculum was STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), and that they "have depicted breast-feeding in the past when it was a natural part of the storyline."[2]
