Borders by Thomas King
3.0
A graphic novel depicting what it means to have borders determine who we are and what we call ourselves.
When a boy and his mother set out to visit his sister in Salt Lake City, they find themselves between nations when they are asked at the border to declare their citizenship. When the mother replies, "Blackfoot" the border agents on either side (American or Canadian) can't accept the answer.
As the boy and his mother spend the night in their car in limbo. It isn't until their story gets the attention of the media that the two find a solution.
