ABSTRACT
Bodwéwadmimwen, or the Indigenous language spoken by Potawatomi peoples in North America, has been coded over time by generations of speakers, and is now being used to program a set of Bodwéwadmi futurisms. By surveying old stories transcribed hundreds of years ago as well as reviewing recently produced Indigenous science fiction and fantasy with specific attention to Potawatomi cosmological narratives, these forms of story work become visible. These language codes, pixels, spirit beings, and more are elements of what Blaire Morseau calls Bodwéwadmi futurisms, or atomized bits of traditional knowledge and Native science to actualize Indigenous futurity.
