[POSTER] Guest lecture w/ Meagan Bryne
 Dear friends and colleagues,

Please join us for an upcoming event hosted online and at the University of Waterloo Games Institute<https://uwaterloo.ca/games-institute/>:

On Tuesday, 12 December from 11AM-12:30PM (EST/UTC-5): What Makes it Indigenous: On Readabilty and Forced Readability in Indigenous Media<https://uwaterloo.ca/games-institute/events/what-makes-it-indigenous-readability-and-forced-readability>, a lecture by Meagan Byrnes (Achimostawinan Games). Register for free using this Eventbrite link<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/guest-lecture-what-makes-it-indigenous-tickets-753404712777>.

This talk will explore the concept of Readability and Forced Reliability of Indigenous culture in games media. This talk will make clear how Indigenous representation in media even by Indigenous creators can be subtly and not so subtly influenced by an overarching Colonial system. It will explore how this system with a vested interest in maintaining their conception of Indigenous culture in the public consciousness through Forced Readability can and does contribute to the erasure of Indigenous culture.
