Another great, quick comic that inspires you to learn more.
Betty's story depicts a genocide that is currently happening in the united states. Missing and murdered indigenous women. It's terrible and everyone should read this and take action.
Helen Betty Osborne was a 19-year old. Cree woman from Norway House, Manitoba, who was brutally assaulted and murdered by four white man in 1971. This graphic novel tells her story succinctly and respectfully, although it is very much geared to a young teen audience, and I wish it had had more depth about her childhood, instead of focusing so much on the attack. But this would be a great book for grades 10 and 11, and it has a simple and effective call to action - to share the stories of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls with others.
This short graphic narrative tells the true story of Helen Betty Osborne, who was abducted and murdered in 1971. It sheds light on systemic issues that continue to occur in Canada, which has affected 1,200 Indigenous women across Canada and has been largely overlooked. David Alexander Robertson and Scott Henderson have created a poignant and heartbreaking work that will help bring more awareness to the plight that many Indigenous women face to this day.
The life and brutal murder of Helen Betty Osborne is presented respectfully in this short story. She wanted to be a teacher, had friends, and had much to look forward to. Helen Betty Osborne, and the countless other missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada have been mostly ignored by our government and media, and the public, and it is beyond shameful in a country that prides itself on its “niceness”.

just absolutely heartbreaking. the dehumanization of Indigenous folks is a serious issue that I feel most people are not taking seriously enough.

A short, impactful read about the life and death of Helen Betty Osborne. I wished for more to the book, more about her life, but I think there's power in the sparseness of it too.
