Really nice wrap-up to the series. Echo is aptly named as we find she's a direct descendant to the people we've been meeting in past issues.  Liked how the topic of generational trauma is brought up, yet there is hope for the future. The character Micah mentioning that the indigenous people are living in a post apocalyptic world also resonates.  Overall enjoyed the story of Echo and leaving about the Metis people. 

I had previously read The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline and her characters are Metis, so it's nice to see where they come from too.
