Selena Mills of CBC provides a link for 15 Indigenous comic books and videogames that could be introduced to kids. The commonality between all the titles in her list was that all of them “aim to eliminate negative stereotypes of Indigenous peoples as seen throughout pop culture.” (Mills, 2018). All the titles were either created and developed by Indigenous peoples or they were consulted during the creation process. Seeing these titles shows that Indigenous peoples are finding a harmony between their traditions and technology as they are able and willing to tell their stories through modern mediums such as comic books and videogames. As my research question relates to how we can bring Indigenous education into our classrooms in a way that is relevant yet authentic to our students, I found that these were perfect examples of how to accomplish that task.
