Dystopian visions have become increasingly common in mainstream culture, but as Tuscarora writer Alicia Elliott asserts in her foreword to this graphic novel anthology, as Indigenous people, we all live in a post-apocalyptic world. Survival against all odds is a common thread in these intriguing stories, as are resistance, self-determination, and respect for traditional ways of life. Métis author Katherena Vermette tells the tale of Annie Bannatyne, a Métis entrepreneur who, in 1868, reacted to a newspaper article disparaging Métis women by treating its author to some frontier justice. Cree writer David A. Robertson explores the life of legendary World War I sniper--and later chief of the Wasauksing Nation--Francis Peggy Pegahmagabow, who earned a level of respect from whites in the military he could not have hoped for in civilian life. Anishinaabe author Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair recounts the experiences of an Indigenous youth coming-of-age during the Indigenous resistance to the Meech Lake Accord and the subsequent Oka Crisis--an armed standoff between the Canadian government and Mohawk activists--in 1990. Standout pieces include Rosie by Inuit-Cree writer Rachel Qitsualik-Tinsley and Scottish-Mohawk author Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley (with stunning images by GMB Chomichuk) and Red Clouds by Ojibway writer Jen Storm (illustrations and color by Métis artist Natasha Donovan). The Red Clouds images feature thin lines and flat, broad patches of orange, white, and gray, lending the tale a picture-book quality that perfectly fits its ghost story plot. The anthology hops around in time, geography, and narrative style. But the repetition of certain illustrators and colorists gives it a cohesive, though not overly uniform, look. For those interested in the under-covered history of Indigenous Canada--and the contemporary Indigenous graphic novel scene--this should be a must-have book. An illuminating, self-assured graphic novel anthology in which every panel reads like a radical act. COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Ten stunning Indigenous insights into 150 years of Canadian history, leavened with a dash of hope for the future, written and drawn in defiance of the attempted erassure of Indigenous peoples from Canadian identity and history. Each piece is introduced by a foreword from its author, with a time line of events surrounding the narrative, adding to readers' appreciation. Ten different art styles bring to life tales of separation, personal sacrifice, and resistance, of spiritualism and wonder, of promises broken, and of voices finally heard. Some of the artwork is in full color with large page spreads and vibrant hues and detail. One selection is rendered in dreamy watercolors,others are presented in black-and-white, with strong stark contrasts or sketchlike elements. All are powerful and poignant. Expressive and well rendered, the characters stand out and will linger with readers. In every case, the art and writing are a perfect fit,panels are creatively spaced, the pacing superb, and the speech bubbles well placed. VERDICT An essential title with first-rate storytelling and beautiful use of color and design.- Kelley Gile, Cheshire Public Library, CTCopyright 2019 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

Each story focuses on a significant Indigenous historical figure or event, illuminating pivotal moments with a focus on Indigenous rights and sovereignty. Eleven Indigenous authors and eight illustrators from various cultures make for a wide range of storytelling and illustrative styles, although author introductions and timelines for each piece establish some continuity. The fact-based stories relay important historical figures and pivotal moments for Indigenous rights in an accessible way, but the more fantastical stories are where this collection really shines. Red Clouds, a fictionalized account of a woman murdered during a great famine, conveys a disturbingly eerie and convincing alternate explanation of events, while Rosie offers a surreal, dreamlike landscape in which Inuit shamanism and European colonialism collide, illuminating the vast chasm between the two cultures. Although somewhat uneven, this collection provides invaluable opportunity to hea
