This graphic is hard hitting and is something that needs to be read. I am not Native American, but my oldest two children are 1/2 and I lived on the reservation with my first husband's family. I have heard their stories about life when they were young here in the United States. This book really shows how life can be when you are beat down and you pass it down from generation to generation.

Descended from the Blackfish Lake Cree First Nation in Canada, Pete Carver's family is splintering in a spiral of drugs, alcohol, and domestic violence. When this young member of a street gang lands in prison, he is offered a chance to enter an innovative program to help indigenous people heal the generational trauma from centuries of racism, discrimination, and the forced assimilation of Native children at residential schools.

This dramatization is based on a real program that is working to reverse the tides of colonial policy that have caused "the overrepresentation of Aboriginal people in the criminal justice system and of Aboriginal children in government care" and "the intergenerational transmission of hopelessness, helplessness, and powerlessness."

While the actual storytelling can be a little awkward at times, I was moved by Pete's transformation and given hope that others could follow the same path. (

Fascinating exploration of the injustices done to people in the name of civilization. This is also a good book to examine what it means to be a man in today's world. (

diverse adult/teen graphic novel (first nations youth Canadian history/Indian schools single moms/gangs/alcoholism/drug use and dealing/incarceration & alternative therapy/rehab for indigenous people)
good history lesson and representation, though it felt a bit didactic. (
