In the dreamworld she bears witness to a mountain of buffalo skulls. They stand as a ghostly monument to the slaughter of the Plains bison to near extinction-- a key tactic to starve and contain the Indigenous People onto reservations. On this path, Spotted Fawn knows she must travel through her own family history to confront the harsh realities of the past and reignite her connection to her people and the land. Her darkroom becomes a portal, and her photographs allow her glimpses into the lives of her relatives over the course of four chapters of this book, which follow the phases of the moon. Time and space become unlocked and unfurl in front of her eyes. Guided by her ancestors, Spotted Fawn's travels through the past allow her to come into full face- -like the moon itself. Adapted from the acclaimed stop- motion animated film of the same name, written and directed by Amanda Strong, Four Faces of the Moon brings the oral and written history of the Michif, Cree, Nakoda and Anishinaabe Peoples and their cultural link to the buffalo alive on the page. Deeply resonant and beautifully rendered, this graphic novel retelling is essential reading. Backmatter by Dr. Sherry Farrell-Racette (Michif), an associate professor of Native Studies and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Manitoba, provides information on Michif culture and history and the injustices of colonialism."--|cProvided by publisher. 521 8 HL690L|bLexile 650 0 Indigenous peoples|zCanada|xHistory|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Indigenous peoples|zCanada|xHistory|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Indigenous peoples|xColonization|zCanada|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Indigenous peoples|xColonization|zCanada|vJuvenile fiction. 655 7 Graphic novel adaptations.|2lcgft 655 7 Teen fiction.|2local 655 7 Graphic novels.|2lcgft 655 7 Young adult fiction.|2local
