A review by meepelous
7 Generations: A Plains Cree Saga by David A. Robertson, Scott B. Henderson
3.0
Read as part of Indigenous Comic Book Month 2017.
Art was a tad bit distracting, but not any more rough looking then a number of indie manga I read last month.
While this felt like a good narrative explanation for inter-generational trauma, my limited experience left me wondering why Robertson references 7 generations in the title. While he does cover 7 generations, this does not seem to (again in my limited experience) relate to the 7 generations teaching or 7 grandfathers teaching, which confused me a bit. Although I am likely just being rather silly and ignorant and 7 is just a significant number. Since this does come across as a teaching tool, I did feel like this detracts a bit from the overall experience but also inspires me to seek deeper.
