Production of a game exploring Hopi history and culture through virtual reality-based interaction with two historic sites, Balcony House and Wupatki National Monument.

Resonant is an educational virtual reality (VR) game and companion web experience allowing players to explore Native American heritage, history, and culture through the lens of a changing climate. Players are transported to the American Southwest through immersive 3D environments of Mesa Verde National Park and Wupatki National Monument. Guided by voices from Native American descendant communities, players will grow their understanding of these storied landscapes, reflect on their own culture and relationship with a changing environment, and challenge stereotypes of Native Americans historically and today.
