This graphic novel is beautifully drawn and written. It deals with Indigenous people and the issues they face with trying reclaim their culture, their land, their sense of self. It deals with border issues (those in Canada in this one) and how difficult it is to claim your country of origin when you're an Indigenous person. This book will be well-received by anyone who reads it because it hits so close to home on many issues we discuss in the US everyday.

I love graphic novels because feelings are expressed visually. The text is an aid. Really, the story is told through the colors, shapes and shades. This story was full of emotion, and I had to pay attention to it. If I went through it too quickly, I couldn’t get the full story. It was nice to slow down
