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.
Book two in the award-winning Mothers of Xsan series, The Grizzly

that the Skeena River runs through, as well as the sockeye salmon
within it. Follow mother bear as she teaches her cubs what they
need to survive on their own.
