Seeking immortality: Storytelling Using VR to Preserve Native American Language and Culture

The Seeking Immortality project is a funded IMLS Native American Enhancement grant between two academic libraries, a school of information, and a Native American tribe. The project goals are to preserve the Northern Cheyenne language and culture and share them through interactive storytelling in virtual reality. The project seeks to immortalize the language and culture of the Northern Cheyenne for future generations to experience and learn from. Our story will include 3D interactive images of the Northern Cheyenne tribe, their modern daily life, and the oral traditions of their past, all within an interactive and educational virtual environment that children and adults of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy.

Speakers: Samantha Barnthouse, Jon Oakes, Michele Atwater, Dr. Anthony Chow
