‘One hell of a storm is coming’: Canadian graphic novel about Indigenous identity sparks outrage

Book prompts conflict over claims of Métis identity in eastern part of country where group doesn’t have a homeland or deep historic ties

A graphic novel investigating Indigenous identity in Canada has prompted outrage from Métis groups, who say the book undermines their history and represents an attack on their sovereignty.

The work is the result of a third-year history seminar at Dalhousie University, where students collaborated on a book examining thorny questions over ancestry and identity.
