She Falls for Ages is a sci-fi retelling of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) creation story. It begins on an ancient, alien world populated by a technologically sophisticated people whose culture centers on the care and reverence for the beautiful, energy-producing Celestial Tree. The central figure of the tale is Otsitsakaion, also known as Skywoman. She and the Guardian of the Celestial Tree fall in love, but soon learn that their world is dying. Otsitsakaion bravely steps into the void and into a new role as an astronaut and worldbuilder.
Using the new media technique known as machinima, She Falls for Ages boldly mixes Haudenosaunee storytelling and science fiction tradition to connect the deep past and the far future.
