The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences says it will revoke Buffy Sainte-Marie's Juno Awards and Canadian Music Hall of Fame induction after a review of its eligibility requirements. The news comes as other organizations including the Polaris Prize and the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards also take back their honours.

The Oscar winner is also set to lose two Polaris music prizes after a 2023 CBC program claimed the Sainte-Marie had been fraudulently posing as Native.

The Polaris Music Prize announced the rescission of Sainte-Marie's 2015 Polaris Music Prize (won for her album Power in the Blood) and 2020 Polaris Heritage Prize (won for 1964's It's My Way) on similar grounds.
