Lawyer/Activist/Educator Chelsea Vowel (originally from northern Alberta, now living in Montreal) created a social justice video game – with Plains Cree language and cultural content, and a healthy dose of sardonic wit – that she launched on her apihtawikosisan.com blog as a Canada Day gift for everyone.
In the game, you are a Cree girl, sâkowêw, and you need to gather land defenders to help block Enkoch Industries from tearing up the Sundance field.
I haven’t played myself (so far it’s only available for PC, not Mac), but I love the Ad Astra Comix review (linked below, including Chelsea’s comments in response):
