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)
    • LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca

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

      For games, I’d add The Long Dark

      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!
