I love the Haida Manga style and I loved how this story incorporated three living dialects of the Haida language family.

I found the story quite confusing. I wish there had been some culture background or more explanation at the beginning of the book.

An old old story, this is one of those cases where the art and the story really join together and help build each other up. I'm still a complete outsider finally looking in, but the more I read by and about Yahgulanaas the more I appreciate the work he is doing. Living surrounded by settler culture, the act of breaking from that mold is Increadibly hard to do and it is really encouraging to see someone breaking through so beautifully.
I will be returning to this story in years to come.

I always pick up Yahgulanaas's Haida mangas because they're so appealing: the covers, the titles, the art and the style. But then they leave me feeling cold - I know that they're retellings of traditional Haida myths and stories, but they just don't make sense to me.
But it's a great touch to have the three different dialects alongside the English.
