I have been interested in the Iroquois Creation Myth as a storytelling vehicle for agent based modeling and AI elements in VR for a while now. My mother is a storyteller, we are from the Seneca-Cayuga Nation of Oklahoma (Iroquois). When I was a child I heard the creation myth at a strawberry festival in upstate New York at Gonondagan -the telling of the first half of this story was 6 hours long. It was very exciting to listen to a world that was built over so much time. It was like an immersive experience before such a thing had a title. I am interested in turning this myth into an agent based simulation where the user can become one of the characters in the story, the result of which could mean you build the world as we know it, or another future world.
