Award-losing national bestselling Métis author from manitow-sâkahikan. Trying to debunk myths. She/her/wiya @ https://t.co/HNj6W7aJfG
I've been reading the graphic novel "This Place: 150 Years Retold" with my 5 and 7 year old. It's been a really emotional ride. It deals with a lot of intergenerational trauma and after reading Nimkii last night we cried for a good long while.
Praise for this book
This Place is the graphic novel I've waited for my whole life, and the graphic novel Canada has needed for 150 years.
The stories contained within its pages are both beautifully rendered and vitally necessary. They represent a history not only largely untold and unknown, but one obscured, hidden from sight, so that other stories may occupy a privileged place in defining a national story. Their importance is exquisitely captured on these pages, told by some of the leading artists working today. This is an essential book, for comic fans, teachers, and anyone who wants to learn the stories of this place we now share.
--Jesse Wente, broadcaster and film critica solid addition to....curriculum...as it specifically addresses social, political, economic and cultural challenges in Indigenous communities. Most importantly, the collection points Indigenous students toward seeing themselves, hearing their own voices and stories, and reading about the perspectives of their ancestors and their communities.
