case study
To do this we established connections with relevant tribal sources for future collaboration and partnership with the game company's leadership
Native Nation's work as Indigenous Consultant was instrumental in securing Australian government development funding
Native Nation was engaged by Australian game company, The Rat Shed, to develop a complex narrative for 'One More Traiil', a video game set in the 1870s Old West, featuring native and non-native characters and plotlines.
This involved deep research and consultation with academic and tribal sources to create respectful, tribe-friendly characters and historically accurate plotlines, and to address culturally sensitive topics and motifs.

"Shawn made every character, tribe, and historical detail more truthful and more compelling — and his attachment helped us secure our Screen Queensland development grant."
