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.

I loved how educational this was and the illustrations from each illustrator were very unique. I learned a lot about significant figures in Indigenous Canadian history. I really liked the foreword before every story and the timeline. I really think this is a book everyone should read and it should be taught in schools.
