Students from the Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) can now gain a deeper understanding of the Anishinaabe culture and history through Minecraft: Education Edition’s Manito Ahbee Aki.
Manito Ahbee Aki, which translates to “the place where the Creator sits,” is a game whereby players can explore a fun and interactive world while gaining insight into Indigenous teachings and perspectives.
The game was developed through 14 months by the LRSD Indigenous Council of Grandmothers and Grandfathers (CGG), in partnership with LRSD Scholar in Residence, Knowledge Keepers, education consultants and Microsoft Canada.
“By creating space for Anishinaabe culture within this popular virtual universe, it will give a voice to Indigenous peoples in an innovative way that I hope will capture the attention of the young people across Canada and the world,” said Dan Vandal, Canada’s Minister of Northern Affairs during the game launch on Wednesday.
