After exploring Colorado’s Mesa Verde National Park and its 800-year-old Pueblo cave dwellings, Drew then reveals how cutting-edge Indigenous architects are drawing lessons, and designs, from their own tribal past.

Drew uncovers how First Nations artists are pushing the boundaries of pop culture when he meets up with professional zombies, axe throwing and legend-morphing film directors, and Indigenous video games designers.

Drew Hayden Taylor brushes up his fashion skills as he jumps into the world of Indigenous fashion with a series of the hottest young designers, as well as a one-of-a-kind turquoise jeweller in Sante Fe, New Mexico.
