Sugar Falls: A Residential School Story
David A. Robertson
Sugar Falls: A Residential School Story is a #1 bestseller on Amazon. One of my earliest, and most important, graphic novels. Nice to see it still is being read. The 10th Anniversary Edition is exactly what I envisioned way back in 2011. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1553799755/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tu00_p1_i1 https://t.co/NQJpZULyu6

Valley of the Birdtail: An Indian Reserve, a White Town, and the Road to Reconciliation
Andrew Stobo Sniderman
I really, really loved 'When We Lost Our Heads' by @lethal_heroine. I probably don't have to tell you this, but you should totally read it. It's amazing. Heather's book and Valley of the Bird Tail are probably my favourite books of 2022, Fiction/non-Fiction.
