Firaxis Games partnered with the Shawnee Tribe for Civilization VII, ensuring accurate and respectful depiction of Shawnee history and culture in-game. Chief Ben Barnes, a longtime fan of strategy games, collaborated with developers to incorporate Shawnee language, consulted with cultural knowledge-keepers, and opened a recording studio for preserving the Shawnee language. The inclusion of the Shawnee civilization led by Tecumseh, voiced by Shawnee actor Dillon Dean, is part of the Tecumseh and Shawnee Pack DLC. The collaboration has been a fulfilling partnership, and players can now embody Tecumseh and lead the Shawnee in Civ VII for years to come.
