Cover of Indigenomicon: American Indians, Video Games, and the Structures of Dispossession by Jodi Byrd. The cover art features a stylized, pixelated landscape that transitions into a painted forest scene. A river runs along the bottom, where a figure sits in a canoe. In the background, a wooden palisade, tall trees, and two stork-like birds in flight are depicted.
