Abstract

My nine-year-old daughter is no stranger to Echo Desjarlais and her opportunity to time travel to identity-forming Metis experiences in the 1800s. As we opened up the third volume in Katherena Vermette's Graphic Novel series Northwest Resistance, we are met with the familiar illustrations of Scott B. Henderson. Muted hues of the illustrations create an ambiance for the reader to begin to embrace Indigenous aesthetics, and there are various forms of sovereignty – both cultural and political in A Girl Called Echo. The teachings bestowed to the lead character speak to the resilience of her people both in her 21st century classroom, reconnection to her ancestry and the dreams into the distant past.
