This book covered a lot of different issues First Nations peoples have faced since the colonization of the land that is now Canada. I enjoyed the anthology aspect in the sense that it highlighted lots of Indigenous authors and illustrators. However I felt that some of the stories were too short for me to fully “get” them or feel their impact.
Graphic: Racism and Colonisation
Moderate: Police brutality
Minor: Cannibalism
