Another teacher recommended these beautiful Graphic Novels to me to use in my upcoming Literacy series for Middle School Teachers and I am so grateful. They are absolutely stunning books that delve into stories of some the great Indigenous figures from Canadian history. They are published by Highwater Press, a Canadian Publishing company and can be ordered from Portage and Main Press at:  http://www.portageandmainpress.com

I love these books!

The author is David Alexander Robertson, a Cree writer. The illustrator is Scott B. Henderson. These two have also collaborated on the 7 Generations series and Sugar Falls: A Residential School Story.
