Cree Nation leader calls out negative portrayal of historical figure in 'Civ 6'

January 5, 2018

The real-time strategy game Civilization 6 announced a new playable leader for players to conquer the world with this week, and the people of the Poundmaker Cree Nation are not taking very kindly to it.

Poundmaker Cree Nation headman Milton Tootoosis spoke out against Civ 6‘s use of the namesake of his nation, Chief Poundmaker (Pîhtokahanapiwiyin), telling CBC Radio program Saskatoon Morning the portrayal of Poundmaker and the Cree people is inaccurate and dangerous. Poundmaker and the Cree people will be playable in the Civ 6 expansion Rise and Fall coming in February.
