Buffy Sainte-Marie, supersisters No. 66

This ephemera is from the original supersisters trading card set which aimed to empower women and girls by highlighting accomplished women in a wide variety of fields. The cards were created by sisters  Lois Rich and Barbara Egerman after Lois’ 8-year old daughter, Melissa, asked why there weren’t any women on baseball trading cards. This card features Buffy Sainte-Marie, the founder of the Native North American Women’s Association. She also appeared regularly on Sesame Street. Her songs were recorded on 14 different albums and were used in major motion pictures.
