7 Generations: A Plains Cree Saga

David A. Robertson

"[David A. Robertson] weaves an engrossing and unforgettable story with the precision of a historian and the colour of a true Indigenous storyteller."--Rosanna Deerchild


From the bestselling author of The Misewa Saga and When We Were Alone, comes 7 Generations: A Plains Cree Saga. This epic series of young adult graphic novels, collected in an omnibus edition, follows one Cree family over three centuries and seven generations.


Edwin, a modern teenage boy, is struggling to feel connected to his family and his identity. From stories shared by his mother, Edwin learns about the history of his family, through the years of war, a smallpox epidemic, and residential schools, all the way through to his present and the conflicts Edwin faces in his own life.


Can Edwin learn from the past? Can his father heal from his experiences at a residential school, and the impact it left on him, in time to help Edwin?


This special 15th anniversary edition brings together all four titles in the 7 Generations series, recoloured and relettered, with a foreword from author David A. Robertson, and an afterword from bestselling author Cherie Dimaline.
