We Are The Living Embodiment of Our Ancestors Past, Present, and Future

The legacies we carry and forge are a reflection of who we were, who we are and who we can be. - Johnnie Jae

You Are The Story. We Are The Mic.

Red POP! News

At Red Pop! News, we celebrate the brilliance of Indigenous creativity across generations. From the wisdom of our elders to the fire of our youth, Indigenous people have been a part of pop culture since before it had a name, but our contributions and achievements have too often been erased, ignored, stolen, and misappropriated.
