About this exposition

This chapter discusses the creation of the "Digital Natives? Saami Games Now!" exhibition, which highlights a decade of Saami Game Design. Since 2014, I have been deeply involved in Saami games. Over the years, I have organized game design workshops ranging from small local Arctic events to large global Indigenous gatherings. More than a hundred game developers have created over 40 games during this period. The first years of this journey were documented in my doctoral thesis “Old Ways of Knowing, New Ways of Playing – The Potential of Collaborative Game Design to Empower Indigenous Sámi” (Laiti 2021). As the work continued, it became evident that highlighting all the games created was, at least, equally important.
