What do some of the most prominent and successful Indigenous artists, leaders and professors have 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 this riveting new podcast series, 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A hello to the show’s creators. It might surprise you to know I’m be been listening from the UK. Yes, the show has made it here! As you’d imagine, I knew nothing before listening to your podcast (that’s what attracted me to it). I’ve learned a lot so thank you for that. The tone is engaging and - importantly - not alienating to a complete outsider like me. I say ‘importantly’ because the world doesn’t change by only ‘preaching to the choir’, so thank you for providing enlightenment on these issues. I also respect the immense patience demonstrated during what I imagine to have been some tricky interviews. Great work! Oh, and I have to mention the other star of the show: the AI generated music was genius!
Shocking!

This is a fantastic podcast. Ryan your journalism is fantastic. I am absolutely appalled at how this is allowed to go on. I cannot wait for season 2. You’re very brave bringing this to light. Stay safe.
Fantastic journalism

Wish it didn’t have to end so soon! I cannot believe people are treated this way and with so many people just ignoring it!
