This was a great intro to the Northwest Resistance. I’m looking forward to reading the fourth installment!

The Metis people were patiently trying to do right by their people. The law of Canada would not hear them. Fighting happened. Lives were lost. Families were displaced. It's hard to read about the harsh conditions the Metis had to endure. The illustrations are beautiful.

2020 Review:
Katherena Vermette is an author I always enjoy, and A Girl Called Echo is just such a truly wonderful series. Getting to learn alongside Echo, both in her everyday life and in her time travel Metis history adventures, is moving, entertaining, and enlightening. Henderson's art and Yaciuk's colours really help bring it all together. I loved the new family history she got at the end the end of the story. The information included at the back was as interesting and informative as ever.
This is another fantastic entry to a fantastic series. I can't wait to see where it goes next.

Another solid entry, penultimate, I believe. In which Echo, in engaging with the historical text at school again dreams herself into history; only she has no agency there and is a mere spectator to the destruction of her people. Something I thought was a good way of illustrating the empathy exercise of reading, as coupled with an active imagination and probably hyper phantasic mind.
Plot wise, there’s a bit more of a development on the family front too. And, as usual, a timeline of historical events is at the end; always helpful and nice. I saw some people complain it wasn’t as fleshed out as the list of events… it’s 48 pages, not 140.

For this one especially I feel like the timeline at the back was necessary to understand what was really going on its pages, so I would have liked more description in the comic itself, but I’m glad the series is continuing on and can be used as a starting point to learn more on these important moments in Canadian history.
