Sovereignty Sound

Dead by Daylight has introduced its first Indigenous Survivor.

Shane “Giiwewigaabaw” Wiigwaas joined the game in The Life Road, a new DLC chapter released June 25.

According to Dead by Daylight, Shane is an Anishinaabe attorney from the fictional Glass River First Nation.

In the character’s backstory, Shane was raised with an understanding that justice was not only about punishment, but about restoring balance.

The character is voiced by Dallas Goldtooth, a Mdewakanton Dakota/Diné actor, writer and activist known for Reservation Dogs, Fallout, and The 1491s.

The release also included collaboration with Anishinaabe artist Tsista Kennedy, whose work helped shape the chapter’s artwork and visual world.
