I don’t want to hold the actions of the orange rapist against American artists who mostly all hate him anyway and deserve better, but let’s promote our own first.

A lot of the more popular ones have been listed already but here’s a couple that I loved that are a bit more off the beaten path:

Tv:

  • Little Bird - drama, if you want to cry your eyes out and watch a fantastic story about the consequences of the 60s scoop
  • Late Bloomer - comedy by YouTuber Jasmeet Dutta

Music (indigenous):

  • snotty nose Rez kids - rap/hiphop
  • anachnid - electronic, I guess?

Nonindigenous:

  • kimmortal - alt hiphop
  • shad - alt hiphop
  • mother mother - indie rock
  • said the whale - indie rock
  • the Jerry cans - folk (Inuktitut language and style)

Podcast:

  • Stolen - true crime

Adding video games too:

  • Don’t starve (and any Klei game actually)
  • crypt of the necrodancer
  • starbound (s/o even though I think they’re UK based not Canadian)

Would you classify the jerry cans as indigenous? I know they sing in Inuktitut, but I’m pretty sure most of the members are not Inuk.

Also, you have to mention Tanya Tagaq.

Oh you’re very right about that, I hadn’t looked into it properly.

I’ve only heard collabs with Tanya Tagaq, but I’ll check out more of her work, thanks!

For music, I’d add The Halluci Nation (formerly A Tribe Called Red).

For games, I’d add The Long Dark
