This tri-lingual immersive app is a creative interpretation of stories told by indigenous peoples of Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand.

Eru lives for video games, but after an argument with his mother, he sets out on a real life adventure that teaches him more about life.

Getting lost in the forest wilderness, he meets a Patupaiarehe, who flies with him to Haida Nation in Canada where he befriends Gwaii. Together they track down the mystical Raven to help get Eru back home. During their journey, they encounter many creatures from the rich mythology of Canada and New Zealand.

This app contains the storybook narration in te reo Māori and Haida indigenous languages as well as English.
