About this app

Pisim Finds Her Miskanaw is an interactive story brought richly to life through full-colour illustrations, songs and soundscape, games, and cultural notes. The Pisim app is a remediation of the picture book of the same name by author William Dumas. Developed in collaboration with Knowledge Keepers and Elders of the Asiniskaw Ithiniwak (Rocky Cree) communities of northern Manitoba, the app features voiced narration available in Cree and in English; Cree text in both Roman orthography and syllabics; pop-up notes on the language, culture, and history of the Rocky Cree; a map of the journey undertaken by Pisim and her family; and games that encourage
reflection on Rocky Cree culture.
