5.0

Really, just an amazing anthology, especially for someone who doesn't know much about Canadian history or the First Nations peoples. Each story brought to life the spirit and struggle of people who've been fighting for the right to exist. I really enjoyed the different art styles across the novel, and the brief window into different cultures each story provided. The myriad of authors and artists for this project - as well as a detailed bibliography in the back - makes a perfect jumping-off point for discovering more indigenous stories and history. I borrowed this from the library, but I'm definitely going to get my hands on a physical copy.
