#1060: Using VR to Tell Native American Stories with OurWorlds & “Choctaw Code Talkers 1918”

I talk with the creators of Choctaw Code Talkers 1918, Kilma Lattin, Founder & CEO of OurWorlds as well as Catherine Eng, Co-founder & CTO of OurWorlds, who are bringing Native American Stories to VR with their platform. OurWorlds won the SXSW EDU launch startup competition earlier in the week, and then premiered their VR documentary about the cryptographic use of the Choctaw language in World War I at the SXSW XR Competition. They talk about their journeys into VR, the process of coalition building amongst Native American Tribes, and many Indigenous insights into the use of VR to capture the oral storytelling of indigenous culture.
