For National Reconciliation Week, I take a look through some games and other interactive media made by Indigenous Australians, that in many cases help to maintain and pass on their culture and language.

I start by briefly discussing Virtual Songlines, Tjinari, and the Love Punks game, then take a look at Neomad and some interactive Dreamtime storybooks by Kiwa, and a few other language apps. Then I experience the beautiful web game My Grandmother's Lingo, and finish by trying out the nifty educational soccer game Second Chances, which came out of an AIME initiative.
