This deeply resonated with me and I spent a lot of time crying. I’d recommend this for anyone trying to parse through intergenerational trauma and their own healing journey.

I don't think my opinion is even remotely important on this one, because it's an indigenous book about indigenous experiences. But what I will say is that if you're looking for a story about indigenous people in Canada by indigenous people in Canada that looks at how historical and systemic racism affects them today, this is a solid graphic novel.
