In this article, I discuss my project âAncestral Codeâ, which consists of an integrated development environment (IDE) and the Nehiyaw (Plains Cree) based programming languages called Cree# (pronounced: Cree-Sharp) and áá᧠(âcimow). These languages developed in response to western perspectives on human-computer relationships, which I challenge and reframe in Nehiyaw/Indigenous contexts.
