Description

"[David A. Robertson] weaves an engrossing and unforgettable story with the precision of a historian and the colour of a true Indigenous storyteller."--Rosanna Deerchild

From the bestselling author of The Misewa Saga and When We Were Alone, comes 7 Generations: A Plains Cree Saga. This epic series of young adult graphic novels follows one Cree family over three centuries and seven generations.

Edwin, a Cree teenage boy, is struggling to feel connected to his family and his identity. From stories shared by his mother, Edwin learns about the history of his family, through the years of war, a smallpox epidemic, and residential schools, all the way through to the present and the conflicts Edwin faces in his own life.

Edwin must confront the past to heal in the present--but can his father, scarred by his own residential school experience, heal in time to help Edwin?

This special 15th anniversary edition brings together all four titles in the 7 Generations series, recoloured and relettered, with a preface from author David A. Robertson and an afterword from bestselling author Cherie Dimaline.

Critical Reviews

Reconciliation is about respect...and self-respect is where it starts. A good story is worth telling, and when told well is worth reading. Especially this one.

-- "Justice Murray Sinclair, Chair, Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada"

David weaves an engrossing and unforgettable story with the precision of a historian and the colour of a true Indigenous storyteller.

-- "Rosanna Deerchild, author of "This Is a Small Northern Town""

A masterpiece of traditional knowledge; a powerful gift to share!

-- "Betty Ross, Elder, Cross Lake First Nation"

Healing lies in knowing our past, not just of our lives, but also the distant past of our ancestors. The interweaving movements from present to past and past to present are like waves of cleansing waters washing in to the present, and back out to that distant past. It's mesmerizing.

-- "Beatrice Mosionier, author of "In Search of April Raintree""
