Abstract

Abstract: This article offers a close analysis of the interventionary visual rhetoric and comic techniques in The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book by Gord Hill (Kwakwaka’wakw). It positions Hill’s comic book as an act of discursive resistance that challenges imagery and narratives of colonial history using the affordances of comic arts. As a multimodal genre, as an audience-directed educational text, and as an account of warriorhood, The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book is an important contribution to Indigenous studies.
