I'll be real honest that I know very little about Canadian history beyond the very early days when it intersects with America and I knew even less about indigenous histories in what is currently Canada. But this graphic novel is absolutely lovely. It covers historical figures, stories like wendigo, and imagined hopeful indigenous futures. Some of the text in some of the stories were a little hard to read for me, but otherwise it's gorgeous look at the ways in which contact was the beginning of dystopia, and a look at how indigenous peoples have always resisted and will always resist until healing occurs.
