Hi Meagan!  thank you so much for your response, and I am doing a paper on Indigenous ideas against the background of migration, displacement and trans-nationalism. I love video games and I wonder how Indigenous ideas fit into one of all of the three concepts mentioned. I just got started looking at Twitch streamers who identify as Native Americans and there must be some soft cosmopolitan energy happening here as well as the trans-nationalism. Moreover, Settlers displaced a lot of first nations into urban areas or reservations and what you are doing is what I feel is asserting your Indigeneity onto Steam (owned by a settler) with your games, and sharing the ideas you mentioned about "post-apocalypse" being distinct from other ideas. I don't think that  interactive media, particular video games, get enough attention as a medium of passing down information of having cultural influence for Native Americans and I want to help share that video games do help pass knowledge and the medium is accessible and fun! I know this is not the best place for this talk but I am happy to learn and support Indigenous creators!
