I really love the idea of telling theses short stories and historical accounts of Indigenous history in Canada. I found myself connecting most strongly with the narratives which happened during my life. Structuring it in order of time was a great idea. And ending on a future story was very creative and interesting. I'm not a huge non-fiction fan, but this is some important information and making it into a graphic novel was a great way to engage a new audience into these topics.
