In Their Moccasins: Playtesting // Se mettre dans leurs mocassins : Essai du jeu

Presented by:

In this session, community participants will playtest a draft version of the training game, "In Their Moccasins." This is an online narrative branching game we are designing (with a creative team of Indigenous students) to train settler learners on Indigenous historical and contemporary realities. Players will choose an Indigenous student avatar and make choices as they go through their day. Each choice will have a teaching point. Interacting with this game would be beneficial for anyone who works with or wants to prepare to work with Indigenous students, or anyone who would like to build their skillset of Indigenous knowledges.
