Each of the stories in this book includes a timeline highlighting important events for the Native Canadian population, which means I learned a lot! This is a nonfiction graphic novel, so it reads different than fiction, which isn't a bad thing. For me, it just means slowing down to ensure that I really get everything that the book is offering.
For the most part, I enjoyed the art styles in this book and the writing helped in bringing these events to life. If you want to incorporate more Native history into a classroom, I think this book would work really well!
