Native Pop Culture

Lisa Charleyboy

Fri. 3/23 11a: It's no doubt the Indigenous people of Turtle Island have made their impact on popular culture. You can access Native people in blockbuster moves, on television and in popular books.

Indigenous women are even stomping the cat walk of one of the hottest reality TV shows across the globe.

So what about the booming pop culture that is brewing from within the Native sphere? What is Native pop culture and just who is influencing it? How does it relate to the one outside of the Native circle?

Guests include writer Lisa Charleyboy (Tsilhqot'in Dene) creator of Urban Native Girl blog and Mariah Monique Watchman (Umatilla) America's Next Top Model Contestant.
