"Hill's raw images convey the events depicted effectively."
--Publishers Weekly "Gord Hill blends his visual and literary
talents to tell the story of aboriginal life since the arrival of
Europeans in the Western Hemisphere in 1492.... 500 Years of
Resistance succeeds as a bold primer on colonialism and its
haunting legacy today."
--This Magazine "The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book is a
milestone. Never before have I come across a non-fiction graphic
novel capable of evoking such a powerful emotional response.
Dealing with such topics as genocide, oppression and assimilation
the comic is sure to cause frustration and sadness in the reader.
At the same time, 500 Years of Resistance is inspirational and
empowering, accurately depicting the strength and nobility of
Native warriors. Gord's straightforward approach to writing coupled
with his iconic illustrations has created a truly groundbreaking
comic book."
