Hey, it's me Ryan. Over three seasons, Thunder Bay reached millions of listeners,

bringing needed attention to the ongoing

story of hate crimes against indigenous people in Canada.

Our podcast became a television docuaries which was just nominated for three Canadian Screen Awards and continues to reach

more and more people.

You're an important part of bringing these stories to the world.

Thank you. Today I'm here to tell you about a new series from

Canada land that I think you're going to want to know about. What do some of the

most prominent and successful indigenous artists, leaders and thinkers 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 Pretendians, co-hosts

Robert Jago and Angel Ellis reveal unbelievable stories of audacious fraudsters and investigate the complex phenomenon of indigenous identity fraud.

The first episode of Pretendians drops right here on this feed on May 14th. You don't have to go
