Kahentawaks Tiewishaw is a founding member of Revital Software, a studio dedicated to revitalizing Indigenous languages through video games. Having been enrolled in a Kanien’kéha immersion program as a child, she initially had basic fluency but lost it later when her education shifted to English. Now approaching the language as a learner, she uses that perspective to inform her game design practices. Through game development, she is reclaiming her language while working to create an online language learning video game library. The library will be freely available to Indigenous communities, cultural centers, and friendship centers.
