Introducing: Pretendians

Today we're pleased to share with you the first episode of Pretendians - a riveting new podcast series that looks at some of the most prominent and successful Indigenous artists, leaders and professors who all have something in common: they aren’t Indigenous.


There are hundreds of cases of Indigenous identity fraud that we know about, and likely thousands that we do not.

So why do these so-called “pretendians” do it? How do they pull it off? And what happens when they are exposed?


In each episode of Pretendians, co-hosts Robert Jago (Kwantlen First Nation and Nooksack Indian Tribe) and Angel Ellis (Muscogee (Creek) Nation) reveal unbelievable stories of audacious fraudsters and investigate the complex phenomenon of Indigenous identity theft.


We hope you enjoy this episode, and we'll see you soon!
