A great short story anthology! The graphics were beautiful and I learnt so much about this part of history.

It's more vignettes into different parts of the Indigieous peoples history in Canada as opposed to your more traditional short story, and though I was hoping for the latter, I very much appreciated what I got!

A truly wonderful book. Educated me about a variety of indigenous issues I had heard of but didn't truly understand. It shows the reality of the brutality and hardship indigenous people in north america face but intersperses it with moments of hope, joy, and little victories that mean the world. I would recommend this book to absolutely everyone.
