Northwest Resistance by Katherena Vermette
2.0
Vol. 1: The Pemmican Wars ★★★☆☆
Vol. 2: Red River Resistance ★★★☆☆
Vol. 3: Northwest Resistance ★★★☆☆
Vol. 4: Road Allowance Era ★★★★☆
Echo is a quiet teenager who drifts through her day with a constant stream of music playing through her earbuds. Then one day in history class, she begins slipping through time, experiencing firsthand the history of the Métis people's interactions with Canadians in the nineteenth century. For the first time, Echo finds herself curious about her heritage and begins to reach out and open up to others.
I'm learning a lot from this series, but I do wish I was getting to know Echo's character a bit more. Most of the volume is basically a history lesson (though certainly a valuable one). The sequence of events in Volume Three was difficult to follow, so I'm grateful for the timeline included in the back.
TW: war violence, anti-indigenous racism
