A fascinating collection of Native American trickster tales in graphic novel format. It struck me as a mixed bunch. I lacked the cultural context to "get" a couple stories, though from the compiler's endnote, this is something the creators actually anticipated ("The point wasn't to westernize the stories...but...to experience authentic Native American stories, even if it sometimes meant clashing with western vernacular.") It's not often that feeling less sure of my own interpretations makes me feel more sure that the stories were true to their roots.

this was such a nice amalgamation of different native american tales by many different artists. this allowed me to be exposed to so many stories i didn’t know and artists i’m not familiar with. it was a little hard to jump between the art styles and i liked some tales more than others but i’m still so glad i read this!!
