reclaim! the game

In Reclaim!, players take on the role of a young Ojibwe teen named Miskwanangookwe (Miskwaa for short), who must solve puzzles and navigate through different environments while learning Ojibwe words and phrases. The game features colorful graphics and engaging gameplay that appeals to players of all ages. By incorporating elements of traditional Ojibwe storytelling and culture, Reclaim! provides an authentic and immersive experience for players. Reclaim! is spearheaded by a full leadership team of Indigenous creatives.

"Our Indigenous nations here in the US have rich and meaningful culture. We don't need to explain to each other the importance of respecting the traditions and land, giving us more time to create a visual love letter in the form of a game. Games let us be a part of experiences and we get to share that with others through our lens,” said Renee Nejo, art director for the project.

Reclaim! is not just a fun game, but an important tool for preserving and promoting the Ojibwe language. By making learning the language an enjoyable experience, the game encourages more people to learn and use the language in their daily lives.

Reclaim! artist Josh Herron said: “Reclaim! is a totally different project than anything I’ve ever worked on in so many ways. First of all I have never worked on a project that was less of a ‘product’ and more of a community good. That difference lines up so much with what I believe art should be. Getting to see a group of artists not only work towards a net good for the community, but also get to have this level of creative freedom is more than I could have asked for. This is for Natives, by Natives.”

We will be thrilled to release 'Reclaim!' to the world in 2026. "We as a team aren’t trying to preserve the language or the culture, rather we want to add to the growing contemporary landscape of indigenous media. The ultimate goal is to create a play experience that feels wholly Ojibwe, from the language to the setting,” said Grassroots Indigenous Multimedia executive director Mary (Waabishkiimiigwan) Hermes. We hope that players will enjoy the game and learn something new about the Ojibwe language and culture.
