Land Invaders is an experimental 8-bit video game that captures the nostalgic feel of classic arcade games while imagining an alternate history in which Columbus’ ships — the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria — never reached the shores of Turtle Island.
Cass Gardiner is an Anishinaabe Algonquin filmmaker, curator, and writer from Kebaowek First Nation. Her work has premiered at the Berlinale and Hot Docs and has been broadcast on PBS, CBC Gem, and Crave.
