Mission US: A Cheyenne Odyssey

Experience U.S. history through the eyes of peers from the past with Mission US, WNET's free, award-winning interactive gaming series designed for tweens and teens. In “A Cheyenne Odyssey,” players experience events as Little Fox, a Northern Cheyenne boy whose life in the 1860s and 1870s is changed by the encroachment of white settlers, railroads, and U.S. military expeditions. As buffalo diminish and the U.S. expands westward, players experience the Cheyenne’s persistence through conflict and national transformation. Winner of the Games for Change Award for Most Significant Impact, this mission was developed in close collaboration with representatives of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe at Chief Dull Knife College, a tribally-managed institution on the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana.
