Our journey with AGÎCHIDE

Welcome to the story behind AGÎCHIDE. Discover what drives our passion for Indigenous narratives and cinematic storytelling, and learn about the unique world we're building.

The spirit of AGÎCHIDE

AGÎCHIDE is more than just a graphic novel project; it's a world built around strong visuals and powerful storytelling. We are driven by a desire to bring unique Indigenous narratives to life, ensuring that every panel and every word resonates with depth and authenticity. Our aim is to create an immersive experience that transports you directly into the heart of the story.

Our unique creative journey

Our creative process for AGÎCHIDE is deeply rooted in authenticity and meticulous craftsmanship. It begins with outlining and scripting the narrative, with crucial sections translated into the Stoney Nakoda language to preserve its cultural integrity. From there, we move to storyboarding, traditional hand-drawn artwork, and finally, digital refinement.

What makes our approach to Indigenous narratives truly unique is its unwavering focus. Many stories relegate Indigenous people to supporting roles. AGÎCHIDE breaks this mould; everything is centered on Nakoda characters and their perspectives from the very beginning. This is a story told entirely from within the Nakoda experience, not observed from the outside.

The future of AGÎCHIDE

The journey with AGÎCHIDE is just beginning, and there's so much more to come. Visitors can look forward to new chapters that expand our world, fresh artwork that continues to push creative boundaries, and the thrilling progression of the overarching story.

Beyond the comic itself, we're excited to offer a range of prints and other exclusive merchandise connected to the project as it develops. Stay tuned for more ways to bring the world of AGÎCHIDE into your home!
