As it's common with anthologies of short stories, some are better than others, but overall all take on different moments in history where Indigenous people and communities were wronged.
The art style of all the stories is simply amazing and it shows that there has been a lot of love and effort put into this book.

battybookworm's review against another edition

challenging emotional informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

This was mainly an informative text about Indigenous history in Canada. It's beautifully illustrated and each other tells a compelling part of their history. Some specific ones that stood out to me were Rosie and the fight and speech against The Mackenzie Pipeline. Much of the book feels like a jumping off point, and I now have a list of other pieces to check out or historical events/figures to look into.
