Pretty good! This is a collection of short comics meant for kids, and I think that it serves the intended audience well. I'm a bit older than the target demographic, so I found some of the stories to be lacking in areas, but as a collection this is well done, and I love that it brings together so many wonderful tales from different Indigenous tribes and nations. My two favorites were "The Rougarou" and "Agonjin in the Water." I liked both the stories and art styles best in those two. But everything here was enjoyable, and I would especially recommend this for kids.
