The graphic novel uses is a very stylized book (in Southern Tutchone People colours of red, black and white). Each issue of the graphic novel has an illusion/ allegory to a theme (for example residential schools). The graphic novel is plot-driven. There are Aishihik, Champagne, Tlingit words sprinkled in the narrative (this is a bit hard for me because sometimes there's a lot of words I have to double-check in the footnotes, but other words I easily remembered).
I really liked the art style and the potential for more books like this (I really like sci-fi). While we see the character's motivations, I just wish there was more of an exploration of the characters' personalities. The characters how has character development were not the main characters.

This series of indigenous comics is an allegory for colonialism and residential schools, turning Canada’s treatment of indigenous peoples into something kids can better understand.
