An Indian Nation Preserves Its Heritage With a Magic Joystick

Submitted by David Ormsong, Sep 4, 2007 20:29

Greetings;

Until I read this article, I had never heard of the Coushatta Tribe. I am a 55 year old white boy whom never plays video games. As soon as I read this article, I googled Coushatta Tribe and found a whole new culture.

I would download games such as this in a moment. As far as I am concerned this would be the equivalent of "A Man Called Horse" or "Dances with Wolves" maybe "Black Elk Speaks" or "Wounded Knee".

I suspect that this is an excellent idea but might best be adopted by numerous nations/tribes and be available to the public at large by issuing Windows compatible versions on disk or on the Web.

The prospect of playing a video game and learning of a culture and language is very attractive, especially when they are those of our "Native Peoples".

Sure beats what my kids watch on MTV.

Thank you,

David Ormsong - Coos Bay, Oregon
