    The case of a beloved 16-year-old girl who didn't return home one night—and the many questionable decisions made by authorities that could have inadvertently saved her life.

    Introducing: Pretendians

    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!

Great Podcast

This podcast is thorough from beginning to end. The best True Crime podcast I listen to, and I listen to many. The podcaster does an excellent job of research and reporting ! This is a need to listen to podcast!!

Steph is smart ,

Absolutely love this podcast!

I came across this podcast to search for new true crime podcasts. I’m unfortunately am picky on voices of those whom are narrating the story.

With that being mentioned, I came across Canadian True Crime and I just love it! Kristie does an excellent job of not just narrating but lover her Australian accent

Some of the stories thus far I have heard of, but the one story that I had not heard of and just shocked that I never did was Ecole Polytechnique Massacre. It did happen while I was just starting HS so back then I never listened to the news and my stepmother refused to let us watch TV.

At any rate I am glad that I came across this podcast. I did start from the beginning about 2 weeks ago and I am just now starting 2018 stories.

fan in Baldwin Michigan ,

Keep doing it your way.

Just listened to the update podcast. I appreciate that you addressed some of the less-positive feedback but many of us appreciate your diligence and ability to share wide swathes of context. We love your show.
