Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection, Volume 1
by Hope Nicholson
This was a great anthology from a group that is typically underserved in the world of comics (at least in my experience) and I really enjoyed reading these stories. Some of them weren't to my taste but I still enjoyed the experience as a whole. My three favorite stories were:
Coyote and the Pebbles
Written: Dayton Endmonds, Ill. Micah Farritor
The dreamy colored pencil art is absolutely gorgeous and I loved the personification of all the animals!
Copper Heart
Written: Elizabeth LaPensee, Ph.D., Ill. Claude St. Aubin
Beautiful art and I really enjoyed the story – it was very short but it didn’t feel stunted or like anything was missing – short, sweet, and perfectly enjoyable.
Tlciho Naowo
Written: Richard Van Camp, Ill. Nicholas Burns
This story blends modern and traditional celebrations – kids are excited to go trick-or-treating and their grandmother(?) tells them about the Night the Spirits Return, a traditional holiday honorint their ancestors and the caribou that feed them. I love how this depicts Indigenous people as a living, modern people – the kids are watching TV and out celebrating Halloween, but their traditional culture and celebrations are still important. As someone who is all about honoring their ancestors and recognizing the sacrifices they made to get you where you are, I totally loved this one. Plus the flashback/dream sequence art is soo lovely.
