Not only your setting (which is great btw) but also many traditional old school D&D campaigns. They all involve European-esque travellers entering an unknown world (the dungeon) to explore and replace the denizens, as well as taking their valuables.

I like that you've identified some narratives it would be easy to reinforce and have created a reminder for yourself to undermine them instead.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15493700749333105771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435306018201623497.post-15141681876175394832019-12-15T05:58:05.388-08:002019-12-15T05:58:05.388-08:00Yeah, this is a good post.Yeah, this is a good post.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435306018201623497.post-2517752959899246402019-12-14T19:25:14.653-08:002019-12-14T19:25:14.653-08:00It's good that you're taking the time to c... It's good that you're taking the time to consider this issue and how it factors into your work. It's so frustratingly easy to reproduce harmful tropes in what you do if you don't tread carefully. I highly recommend that you read some books by indigenous authors if you want to represent indigenous people better in Signs. House Made of Dawn by N Scott Momaday and Tracks by Louise Erdrich are both great at portraying the history of different indigenous nations and how they might recover from the trauma of colonization.
