Echo Desjardins, a 13-year-old Métis girl adjusting to a new home and school, is struggling with loneliness while separated from her mother. Then an ordinary day in Mr. Bee's history class turns extraordinary, and Echo's life will never be the same. During Mr. Bee's lecture, Echo finds herself transported to another time and placeâ??a bison hunt on the Saskatchewan prairieâ??and back again to the present. In the following weeks, Echo slips back and forth in time. She visits a Métis camp, travels the old fur-trade routes, and experiences the perilous and bygone era of the Pemmican Wars.

Pemmican Wars is the first graphic novel in a new series, A Girl Called Echo, by Governor General Awardâ??winning writer, and author of Highwater Press' The Seven Teaching Stories, Katherena V… (meer)

Cool, imaginative story, where a girl is swept into brief time travel episodes that show her some of the history of the Metis people, and connect her to her heritage when she is in a difficult place. ( )

It is easy to empathize with Echo, sadly making her way thru her school day, re-experiencing her Metis ancestors' past while her history teacher drones on about the facts. The end left me hanging. There has to be more! I mean, I knew there were more books in the series, but I don't think I can afford the whole series to learn the whole story.
Ends with a timeline synopsis of the Pemmican Wars, a recipe for pemmicann, and a short song by a Metis poet about this time. ( )

A Métis teen named Echo finds herself unstuck in time, bouncing between her history class in the present day and an early 19th century Canadian trade conflict called the Pemmican War. It's not an original time travel concept, but I'm interested in finding about Echo and this particular bit of history of which I'm entirely ignorant.

For instance I now know that pemmican is a paste made of bison meat and berries that can be stored for years, helpful for getting through a long Canadian winter -- a precious commodity in 1814. ( )

The only issue I have with this graphic novel is it's too damn short.

I wanted more. I wanted so much more because I LOVE Echo already.

I love the subtle queer inclusion and representation, I love how easily this comic reads. I really like the art style and colouring / inks (some people here don't seem to, and that's fine).

Echo's character just leapt off the page for me, and I wanted to know more about her. There were so many little details to her character that I just fell in love with.

I liked the artist's attention to detail -- Echo's braids vs. Marie's braids and the poster of The Break by Katherena Vermette in the classroom.

This could be such an interesting teaching tool in a middle school or high school setting.

Gimme more. I need it. D: ( )

This was a short, visually rich graphic novel. There's very little dialogue, instead the emotional weight of the story is conveyed solely through the illustrations and the pointed silence. Echo's isolation and loneliness is very clear. The lack of dialogue and explanations made Echo's slips through time seem more matter of fact, or perhaps more like just daydreams Echo has to pass the time. A part of me doesn't really know what to do with them, but that may be because this just the first volume so there's more to be shown or explained later. But they're certainly an interesting way for Echo and for us as readers to connect to Metis history.

This definitely felt too short and I'm gonna get started on the next volume immediately. ( )
