True crime

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!

Introducing: Pretendians

They've been called bizarre by some, amusing by others, and downright terrifying by those involved... but one thing these cases all have in common is that they're all true.  In this episode, we unravel the facts and fallout from each case, proving that reality can indeed be stranger than fiction.
This month, Canadian True Crime has donated to the Canadian Mental Health Association.

The Teslin Lake Incident—Part 2


 Sheslay Free Mike terrorized the north for more than a decade. His real name was Michael Oros, and he's been remembered as a legend of the north, the other “mad trapper”, a folk hero… and a cold-blooded killer. But there's much more to this story than meets the eye...
This two-part series takes a look back at a well-known, historic case that was sensationalized through headlines, to show that behind it was a real, human story. 
Special thanks to Garry Rodgers, Bob Buday, and Ed Hill, and to Craig Baird of Canadian History EhX for voiceover of the Oros diaries.
Release schedule: Part 2 will be released to all on Monday April 22. Listen ad-free and early on our premium feeds.

The Teslin Lake Incident—Part 1

Additional content warning: This case is about the death of a baby, and there is mention of domestic violence and animal abuse. Please take care when listening.
After the disappearance of a baby in Windsor in 1990, lurid headlines on both sides of the Detroit River quickly turned the baby’s teen parents into sordid celebrities.
The intention of this episode is to take a look back at a shocking crime sensationalized through headlines, how it captured public attention and inspired vigilante justice. It also reveals the stark differences between Canadian and American news coverage that played a pivotal role in the way this crime—and the stories about this crime—played out.
