Buffy Sainte-Marie: Starwalker

Buffy Sainte-Marie: Starwalker is a Canadian television special, which was broadcast by CBC Television and APTN on September 30, 2022. Staged at the National Arts Centre to mark the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, the program was a tribute concert featuring musicians and dancers performing the songs of singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie, who was widely believed to be Indigenous Canadian at the time. In October 2023, an investigation by CBC News found that Sainte-Marie's claims of Indigenous identity were false, and that she was born in the United States to parents of European descent.

The special received two Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in 2023, for Best Performing Arts Program and Best Sound in a Lifestyle, Reality or Entertainment Program or Series.
