Joining the ranks of Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Rush, Indigenous singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie is the latest artist to be honoured with a commemorative Canadian stamp.

Canada Post revealed the stamp celebrating Sainte-Marie at a small, in-person event at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on Thursday.

"It feels like an embrace. It feels like it comes from more than only my own family or my own show-business people that I know — it feels like a national kind of thing," Sainte-Marie told CBC News.

The image of the 80-year-old used on the stamp was taken by photographer Simon Fowler and was the cover of the singer's single The Big Ones Get Away, from her 1992 album Coincidence and Likely Stories.

Written and sung almost 30 years ago (1992), her lyrics are always relevant, nevermore so than in this song.
