Partnering with the Shawnee Tribe for Civilization VII


Learn more about the partnership between the Shawnee Tribe, Firaxis Games, and 2K Foundations for Sid Meier's Civilization VII!

By chance, Chief Barnes is a longtime fan of strategy games, including the Civilization series, and these conversations eventually blossomed into an ongoing relationship of shared knowledge and resources which not only led to more accurate and meaningful in-game depictions, but also real gains in preserving Shawnee language and culture for future generations. Paying homage to George Blanchard, a fluent Shawnee language speaker and visionary leader in his own right, the studio is fully equipped to produce audio recordings of the highest quality and support the Tribe's ongoing preservation efforts. It's been an honor to work alongside the Tribe in this fulfilling partnership, and now that the game has launched worldwide, we can't wait for more players to build something they believe in while embodying Tecumseh and leading the Shawnee in Civ VII for years to come!
