A fantastic collection of comics that center around Indigenous folklore. Each story has its own unique spin. Some are framed as a story told to another, while others throw the reader right into the action of the tale itself.
Great variety of story and illustrative styles. A fun mix of traditional stories and retellings. Features lore from various Nations including Odawa, Chickasaw, Métis, Cree, Ojibwe, Taino, Navajo, and S’Kallam. Some of the stories are unsettling, others are heartwarming and sweet, some are full of sorrow, others are made of magic.
My favorite tales were “The Rougarou” by Maija Ambrose Plamondon and Milo Applejohn, “Agonjin In The Water” by Alice Rl, and “The Woman In The Woods” by Mercedes Acosta. I also really enjoyed “As It Was Told To Me” by Elijah Forbes.
A fantastic collection with great variety. Covers various themes of friendship, acceptance, helping others, and love, while also exploring some darker tones.
