The Number One Educational Resource for the Game Industry

Session Name:

Independent Games Summit: The Intricate Web of Relationships: Indigenous-Centered Design

Overview:

How have we as game makers dedicated to social justice and indigenous-centered design navigated this process? Producers, writers and creatives from three different games: Reclaim!, Never Alone, and Monument Valley 3, will discuss our different approaches to relationship building, oral traditions/storytelling and indigenous languages and sustainability. While aware of stereotypes and erasures in popular culture, we tell of our own missteps and innovations and why the journey is worth it.
