The 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance Comic Book: Revised and Expanded by Gord Hill, Pamela Palmater
challenging
informative
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
Recounting 500 years of Indigenous and Tribal resistance in the Americas, Hill covers broad resistance from the Mapuche of Chile to the Potawatomi of the Maumee River basin to the Apache, Comanche, and northern Plains Tribal resistance, to the unceded territories of the Pacific Northwest, and everything in between.
Whether you are familiar with histories of Indigenous resistance in the Americas or not, you’ll undoubtedly learn something new. While selective (going for themes, not deep details, here) in coverage, the reader leaves with a deeper understanding of the history AND continuity of Indigenous resistance and the record of colonial forces over hundreds of years with the intention of erasing and eradicating these First Nations peoples across the Americas.
