Reclaiming Language, Culture, and Joy: Revitalizing Native Identity Through Games

Описание: The Faces: Entrepreneurs Are People | Episode #87 – Anthony Drews

Anthony Drews, founder of Nushkaate Games, shares the deeply personal story behind his mission to preserve and revitalize Ojibwe language and culture through joy-driven, community-centered game design.
Tony opens up about his family history, how his great-grandmother, an Ojibwe first-language speaker, was taken from her home and forced into a boarding school, and how that trauma rippled forward into generations who no longer speak their own language. Beyond Nushkaate Games, Tony shares his work at the Tewahe Foundation, where he invests directly into Native community members pursuing education, wellness, culture, and economic independence. His life’s work intertwines purpose and community at every level.
Packed with heartfelt storytelling, cultural wisdom, and a mission that matters, Tony reminds us that entrepreneurship isn’t just about business, it’s about legacy, community, and reclaiming what should never have been lost.
