This teaching guide is attached to a graphic novel that tells the story of a Cree man that was executed for obeying the laws of his people and society. The novel looks at how Canadian law and traditional Indigenous law are often in conflict with one another and how this has negatively impacted Indigenous peoples in the past and present. The teaching guide is complete with a background of the novel, lesson plans and supplemental resources.
