Wanda John-Kehewin reveals ‘Dreams: Visions From the Fire’

Welcome to the True North Country Comics Podcast — dedicated to celebrate Canadian comic book and graphic novel creators and supporters.

On this episode, I chat with Wanda John-Kehewin about the new graphic novel Dreams: Visions From the Fire published by Highwater Press.

Wanda John-Kehewin is a Cree writer who uses her work to understand and respond to the near destruction of First Nations cultures, languages, and traditions. A published poet and fiction author, her first novel for young adults, Hopeless in Hope, won the Sheila International Books list. Her recent graphic novel is Dreams: Visions of the Crow. Together with illustrator nicole marie burton, Ryan Howe and Rhael McGregor, Wanda’s newest graphic novel is entitled Dreams: Visions From the Fire.

The story of Dreams: Visions From the Fire goes like this: “For Damon Quinn, things have started to look up. He’s graduated high school, saved enough money to buy his first car, his old bully has kind of become a friend, and he and Journey are growing closer. Ready for adventure, Damon, his mom Marnie, and Journey take a road trip out to Kehewin Cree Nation to attend a Sweat Ceremony and a Powwow, as well as reconnect with family. When Marnie learns of Damon’s plan to meet up with his estranged father, the news sends shockwaves through the group. But Damon isn’t the only one keeping secrets. As Damon stumbles into a vision quest, he’ll discover more than he bargained for about his own history and the history his mother would prefer he never found out.”
