From Wiki:

American Indian College Fund's Lifetime Achievement Award        1998

Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards Lifetime Achievement Award        2008

Juno Award for Indigenous Music Album of the Year        2018

Indigenous Music Awards for Best Folk Album        2018

Issiqut Anguk, sister of singer Kelly Fraser who lost the 2018 Juno Award for Indigenous Music Album of the Year to her, wrote that Fraser "respected Buffy so much and it hurts to hear that maybe, just maybe it would've changed Kelly's life if she won the Juno award and Buffy didn't."


There's more of this kind of stuff in the Wiki article.
