TimeTraveller™ by Skawennati
TimeTraveller™ tells the story of Hunter, a young Mohawk man living in the twenty-second century who meets Karahkwenhawi, a young Mohawk woman from our era. Follow them while they use an edutainment system popular in the future —TimeTraveller™— to embark on a virtual joyride that immerses them in historical events significant to Native North Americans, such as the Dakota Sioux Uprising, the Oka Crisis and the occupation of Alcatraz Island.
NOTE: TimeTraveller™ is a nine episode series, and contains coarse language, discussions of sex and depictions of nudity.
