Buffy from Sesame Street, not vampire slayer. Listen to some beautiful music, see some folk fashions. I always loved when TV shows traveled somewhere. The 3rd clip (Buffy’s Morning Song) intros with the Sesame Street gang boarding a plane for Hawaii to visit Buffy and her family. They all sleep in a teepee and Big Bird brings a wagon full of cabbages for Mr. Snffleupagus.

Buffy Sainte-Marie is an Academy Award-winning aboriginal Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, composer, visual artist, pacifist, educator, social activist, and philanthropist. Throughout her career in all of these areas, her work has focused on issues of Native Americans. She appeared on Sesame Street from 1975 to 1982.

    Buffy shall be praised! Thanks for the links, what an intense performance. Also she’s been commended for her chat with Big Bird about breastfeeding, so sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-L-Fg7lWgQ
