Welcome to episode two of the Real Rank Podcast with hosts Kairyn Potts and Scott Wabano. In this engaging episode, we dive into a hot topic within the Native community – the controversial issue of 'pretendians.' As we navigate this complex subject, we share personal experiences and explore the broader implications of identity fraud in Indigenous communities.
Throughout the episode, we candidly discuss the emotional toll of discovering someone identifying falsely as Indigenous, drawing parallels to feelings of betrayal akin to being cheated on. Additionally, we touch on the intersections of culture, identity, and allyship, emphasizing the importance of genuine connection to one's heritage without exploitation.
Join us as we question the role of social media in amplifying pretending identities and reflect on the responsibilities of community and organizations in protecting the integrity of Indigenous identity. A heartfelt, thought-provoking conversation unfolds, emphasizing learning, understanding, and respecting genuine connections to heritage.
