Going Native (2020)

GOING NATIVE is a light hearted and occasionally comedic Canadian documentary series hosted by Drew Hayden Taylor. It debuted in early 2021 on APTN (Aboriginal People's Television Network). Season One consisted of 13 half hour episodes. The series focuses on presenting Indigenous culture as a living, evolving way of life. Stories range from covering traditional Native and Inuit concepts that have impacted contemporary life in ways that people may not be aware; to discovering cutting Indigenous people and ideas that are changing the world and challenging mainstream ideas about founding cultures. Each episode contains 3-6 fast paced segments. On the strength of the first season in test screenings, the show was renewed for a second season in September 2020, several months before the first season debuted.
