From two celebrated Indigenous creators comes a powerful graphic novel
about a family caught between nations.
Borders is a masterfully told story of a boy and his mother whose road
trip from Alberta to Salt Lake City is thwarted at the border when they
identify their citizenship as Blackfoot. Refusing to identify as either
American or Canadian first bars their entry into the US, and then their
return into Canada. In the limbo between countries, they find power in
their connection to their identity and to each other.
This much-anthologized story has been adapted into a gripping graphic
novel by award-winning artist Natasha Donovan. A beautifully told tale
with broad appeal, Borders resonates deeply with themes of identity,
justice, and belonging.
