Thunderbird Strike

In this game the player controls Thunderbird, a legendary creature from the mythology of some North American indigenous peoples, which flies from the Alberta tar sands to the Great Lakes, and along the way attempts to destroy oil industry infrastructure and equipment while trying to revive dead wildlife.

LaPensée says the game is a protest about pipeline construction on Indigenous land, while telling stories from her culture and encouraging players to take care of Turtle Island.

[4] LaPensée calls the art style "woodland" or x-ray," and in Anishinaabe culture, this relates to the connection between breath, lightning, and energy.

There is an additional scene of oil rigs transitioning to wind turbines, indicating a support for more sustainable, renewable energy.

Indigenous communities have had a long history of struggles with the oil industry such as the widespread controversy surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline.
