review:
'This Place: 150 Years Retold' from HighWater Press is a graphic novel retelling of the history of indigenous people in Canada.

The 10 stories in this collection are chronological and trace the treatment of native peoples in Canada during the time it has been a country. Over the course of the book, I met Annie of Red River, the wife of a settler, and quick with the whip. There are the wendigo hunters who are out to stop people from going crazy. Perhaps my favorite was about World War I sniper Francis "Peggy" Pegamagabow.

The stories are almost all interesting. The art varies, as you might expect with so many different creators. I wasn't as crazy about the final story, which was a speculative fiction story.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Portage & Main Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
