Indigenous movies, graphic novels, comic books, and video games are redefining pop culture, in contrast to former stereotypical portrayals of indigenous people, Zander Jones, an indigenous zombie actor, shows us his makeup skills. Film director Jeff Barnaby talks about his horror film ‘Blood Quantum’ where a zombie apocalypse breaks out on a Mi’kmaq reserve. In Keith Lawrence’s film ‘Zombies and Indians’, two men defend the “Rez”.  A native comic bookstore in Albuquerque, NM, promotes emerging indigenous superheroes. A stop-motion animated creature comes to life in ‘Monster Slayer’, morphing the Navajo hero twin’s story. Métis Meagan Byrne sets her video game in a 25th century indigenous city. First Nations artists are pushing the boundaries of pop culture.

In Going Native, celebrated author Drew Hayden Taylor examines the stereotypes and traditions of Indigenous identity while discovering cool new ways Indigenous people are shaping their culture in the 21st century.
