This was a beautiful collection and I think the first collaborative graphic novel collection I’ve ever read. It was so cool to see all the different styles of art and colours, even from the same artist in different stories.
I also loved that it was so personal, with each author sharing what inspired them to write the story before we got into it. It provides context and a connection between the author and their characters as well as with the reader as it instills more importance in why this story is important to tell.
While I was familiar with some events like the potlatch ban, Sixties Scoop, protests over the pipelines, and identification tags for Inuit, there were many names I was unfamiliar with so I’m grateful for this introduction and inspired to learn more about each of these stories!
Also glad that I’ve now got many more authors and illustrators on my list to check out their other works! I’ve previously read Katherena Vermette and David A. Robertson, and have several others already on my TBR, so always happy to see their names come up.
