This was a fun collection of essentially graphic short stories. However, they were very short, and since I didn't already know the characters it felt like there was a lot of context missing. I am glad this was written and drawn by indigenous artists and authors, but it still feels like a token gesture on Marvel's part. (I hope I'm wrong. I hope it's more than a token. That's just the impression I get.)

Great Little Indian Comic
I don’t often read comics, but had to make an exception once I knew Jones and Roanhorse were involved in this! The world needs more indigenous art. We need to infuse our histories and cultures into more contemporary narratives and highlight our troubled past, our troublesome present, and speculate our prosperous and joyful future.

I was very excited when I saw this in my local comic shop. A lot of these characters are ones I was previously familiar with and was happy to see showcased. Others were new to me, but interesting nonetheless. All the stories in this anthology are self contained and were each intriguing enough to keep my attention the whole way. I'm always down for seeing more indigenous characters represented in media, and this is a step in the right direction seeing as there isn't enough representation currently.

This was really enjoyable! I'm glad that Marvel is moving forward to bring awareness to Indigenous comic book illustrators and writers. It was also great to see the work of some authors that I'm familiar. What is interesting about this is that these characters seem to be characters that have already existed in the Marvel Universe and this is a reimagining that does away with a lot of stereotypes that existed in the work before. These are all one shots so we don't get a full story which is perfectly fine. I'm hoping that this is something that they continue to do in the future because I would love to see longer stories!
