A New Voice Rises: "Big Aunty" & "Young Elder" Join Dopest Natives Alive — Introducing Spilling the Aunt-Tea

DNA EditorialMay 5, 20266 min read

Something shifted inside the Dopest Natives Alive studio.

This wasn't just another podcast.

This was a moment.

A moment where story met opportunity. Where healing met platform. Where culture met its next evolution.

From TikTok to Truth

When Rich Unk of Dopest Natives Alive sat down with the rising duo known as "Big Aunty" and "Young Elder," the goal wasn't clout — it was clarity.

Their story isn't manufactured. It's built on:

  • Lived experience
  • Survival
  • Growth
  • And a deep-rooted connection to Nehiyaw (Cree) identity

Inside the episode, they speak openly about their healing journeys, how they became known on TikTok, the pressure of visibility, and the responsibility of staying grounded in culture.

No filters. No performance. Just truth.

Fame, Pressure & Staying Grounded

With thousands watching and numbers climbing, the conversation goes deeper than social media success.

They talk about how fast attention can change your life, how easy it is to lose yourself in it, and why staying connected to family, community, and culture matters more than anything.

Because for them, this isn't about fame.

It's about healing out loud without losing who you are.

The Moment Nobody Saw Coming

Then came the turning point.

A moment that shifted everything in the room.

In true Dopest Natives Alive fashion, Rich Unk didn't just conduct an interview — he created opportunity.

Keys to the Studio. Keys to the Future.

In a powerful and unexpected move, Rich Unk handed over the keys to the Dopest Natives Alive studio.

Not symbolic.

Real access.

Real trust.

Real belief.

With that came an official welcome: Big Aunty and Young Elder are now part of the Dopest Natives Alive movement.

"Spilling the Aunt-Tea" — A Podcast is Born

Out of that moment, a new voice enters the space:

Spilling the Aunt-Tea

A podcast that will now be created inside the Dopest Natives Alive studio — by them, for the people.

What's coming:

  • Raw conversations
  • Real-life experiences
  • Indigenous humor
  • Healing, trauma, and truth
  • The authentic auntie + niece dynamic that people connect with

This isn't just content. This is storytelling with purpose.

More Than a Platform — A Movement

This moment represents something bigger.

Dopest Natives Alive isn't just showcasing talent anymore — it's building space for it.

This is about:

  • Ownership of narrative
  • Creating opportunities within the community
  • And building media that reflects real Indigenous voices

The Bigger Picture

What happened in that studio is a glimpse into what's coming:

Creators becoming collaborators. Voices becoming platforms. Culture becoming infrastructure.

No gatekeepers. No waiting. Just building our own lanes.

This Is Only the Beginning

The episode drops soon. But the impact? That already started.

A new show. A new partnership. A new chapter in Indigenous media.

Dopest Natives Alive continues to lead the way:

Fuel the renaissance. Amplify the voices. Bring the culture home.
