Vision & Mission

• To be a globally established video company known for unique stories and gameplay that reflects an Indigenous perspective
• To be an established brand in the digital interactive field known for developing a quality product and a commitment to sustainable Indigenous business practices
• To tell stories that want to be shared in a way that is neither exploitative nor harmful

Founder Meagan Byrne:

“I started Achimostawinan Games in 2016 after finding a sore lack of easily available Indigenously created video games or Indigenous-centered digital content. This became a further frustration when I realized that there were almost no Indigenously owned and operated tech companies or Indigenously owned digital game studios in North America. I saw this as an opportunity to fill a niche and serve an underserved market. As I developed my studio business plan, I realized that there were many groups and communities, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, that had a need for digital interactive expertise that was Indigenously-centered.”
