This Place: 150 Years Retold is a graphic novel anthology made up of ten stories written and illustrated by Indigenous creators. It explores the past 150 years of Canadian history and policy from Indigenous perspectives. Each story is powerful and unique, I enjoyed the mix of art styles and narrative voices. I found that it was enriching and informative while still being easy to follow. I appreciated that at the beginning of each story there was a note from the authors providing some background as well as a timeline to orient the reader, especially because I am not very familiar with Canadian history. This book is about the countless horrors of colonialism, it is about pain, and adaptation. But it is also about hope, culture, community and strength. The power of storytelling is a consistent theme as a means of shining a spotlight on Indigenous heroes who live on in their legacies and stories. This book is a remembrance of the past, a testimony of survival and a letter of hope for the future. I honestly think that everyone should read this book in the spirit of uplifting Indigenous voices and listening to their stories in their own words and on their own terms.
