The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle

The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle:, Vol. 1

Spicy textbook, resilient lament. 
Not as knowledgeable as I should be, but I gather it is a blend of historical events, spiritual Cree beliefs about the nature of the world, connection to the land, a fierce counter to the tragic and biased perspectives that have dominated mainstream histories of Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island after first contact with white colonists, and an exploration of how art tries to communicate, even if others may not be primed to see the truths shown. As told by a mythical figure who champions queer, polyamorous love, freedom of gender expression, and compassion, sharing and teaching, often shown through sex. There's a lot of fun and tenderness to the intimacies recounted but heads up that the art is full frontal and like the text, occasionally explicit. 
Bonus: Cree language glossary in the back!
