I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It's a really good portrayal of the intergenerational trauma that Indigenous communities face, as the story is at once about Edwin's journey, but encompasses the 7 generations that preceded him. It takes an unflinching view on Canadian history as well as the cycle of abuse that occurs in society. It's beautifully inked, and combines history and individualism wonderfully.
