Today we’re sharing with you a preview of the first episode of Canadaland’s newest show Pretendians.


What do some of the most prominent and successful Indigenous artists, leaders and thinkers have in common? They aren’t Indigenous.


From major universities, to the halls of power, to Hollywood, there are people claiming to be Indigenous in the interest of power, money, and status. There are dozens of outrageous 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?
