True crime

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.
The intention of this episode is to highlight how cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls are often treated differently at every stage of the criminal justice process, as per Reclaiming Power and Place, the final report of the National Inquiry into #MMIWG.
Additional content warning: this episode is about the murder and possible sexual assault of an underage girl.

Cherish

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.

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.
