Un roman graphique documentaire vraiment intéressant sur les peuples autochtones des Territoires du Nord-Ouest. C'est bien documenté et ça présente plusieurs perspectives variées (dont certaines sont assez confrontantes) qui proviennent de différents membres de la communauté au sujet de l'environnement, de l'exploitation des ressources, de la colonisation, etc. Et ça présente de façon très personnelle l'expérience des pensionnats vécue par plusieurs, en mettant de l'avant les répercussions que ça a encore aujourd'hui. En plus, les dessins sont magnifiques!
Content Warnings
Moderate: Child abuse, Racism, Religious bigotry, and Colonisation

Though I'm not as familiar with the subject matter as I'd like, I think this book does a really great job showing us a variety of perspectives from the Dene people and telling us their stories.
This book, like Sacco's other books, is very narration heavy, with lots of small print in small boxes that can often be hard to read and absorb, I often find myself reading one page over and over. However, overall, I am glad to have read it.
