 I wish this graphic novel had existed when I was a young teenager. I grew up completely naïve of the traumatic relationship that Indigenous peoples have had with the Canadian Government and I didn't learn about residential schools until I was 19. I think that this graphic novel is a great introduction to the topics of generational trauma and residential schools for young teenagers, and should be available in schools along with a more detailed curriculum of this Canadian history.
