This research develops an Indigenous-informed video game that teaches environmental stewardship through reciprocal relationships with the land. Drawing on community knowledge and storytelling, the game challenges extractive, colonial approaches common in popular games by making ecological balance, listening, and responsibility essential for survival and success.

This project uses prescribed grazing to manage invasive vegetation and reduce wildfire risk in California. Grazing mimics natural disturbances, lowers hazardous fuels, improves soil health, and supports native biodiversity. The LandSmart Grazing Program funds landowners, builds infrastructure, educates communities, and strengthens local economies through sustainable, landscape-scale vegetation management.
