In<\/span> Borders<\/span><\/i>, this graphic-book adaptation of award-winning author Thomas King’s <\/span>The Inconvenient Indian, The Truth About Stories, <\/span>a young Blackfoot boy and his mother end up in a no-man’s land between the United States and Canadian when his mother refuses to answer a seemingly simple question: “Are you American? Or are you Canadian?” In a story told with King’s characteristic wit, readers are invited to consider themes of place, nationality, family, Indigenous Sovereignty, and home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
