The Shawnee take on ‘Civilization’
There is a decidedly imperialistic thrust to the Civilization video games.

That’s why leaders of the Shawnee Tribe were wary at first when game developers approached them about including famed Shawnee chief Tecumseh in the next version of Civilization. But after four years, the collaboration has introduced Shawnee language and culture and a new direction for the Civilization franchise.

Join Native America Calling to hear about this intersection of Native representation and video games and explore some new uses for video games.
