Abstract

The article focuses on the role of Métis storytelling in new media as a means of asserting virtual sovereignty. It discusses the creation of two video games, *Sage Plains* and *Infinite River*, which are designed to engage Indigenous communities in decolonization efforts by centering their narratives and experiences. The author emphasizes the importance of Indigenous-led innovation in digital spaces to combat colonial narratives and foster connections to traditional lands, even for those displaced from them. The games aim to provide educational experiences that reflect Métis culture and history while promoting self-determination and community solidarity in both virtual and physical realms.
