The Peacemaker Returns, is a futuristic saga set in 3025 yet firmly rooted in the ancestral Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) confederation story and featuring historical figures such as Tekanawí:ta, Jacques Cartier, and a president addicted to Twitter! This new machinima–an animation-style movie produced on the virtual reality platform Second Life–is the core of the children’s exhibition, designed specifically for kids aged 5 to 11 by Skawennati. Audiences of all ages are invited to (re)discover some traditions in the artist’s « museum of the future, » an original installation.
