I stumbled upon a Storify of @jetgrindfuture by way of the #INeedDiverseGames hashtag on Twitter. JetGrind makes a really great point about the complete lack of responsible representation of Native Americans in games. I was looking through the mentions of some of his tweets and discovered some videos, websites and tweets to share.
Elizabeth LaPensée is a pretty cool person to check out!
"Dr. Elizabeth LaPensée is a game researcher, designer, and writer whose focus is Indigenous game development. She draws from her Anishinaabe, Métis, and Irish ancestors to inform her art, design, and writing. She also empowers the next generations through game development education for Indigenous youth."
Elizabeth LaPensée's website
Both of these videos belong to her:
Native American Representation in Video Games (2011)----> I found through this blog post on abtec.org
Why Cultural Collaboration Matters
What are some more ways we could incorporate Indigenous peoples and culture responsibly into games? What sort of stories would you like to hear? I wanna hear them too!
If you have any other sites, Tumblrs, Twitter feeds, etc. about this topic, share please!
