For Echo, the experience is empowering, focusing her own identity and giving her the strength to confront the challenges in her life. Going back to 1884, Echo finds herself in the thick of a new Métis resistance led by leader Louis Riel, who has returned from exile to resist encroaching forces from the East and to ensure his people’s rights are honoured. The third graphic novel in the A Girl Called Echoseries, Northwest Resistance, follows Echo Desjardins and her travels through time. 2 Northwest Resistance Vermette, Katherena The lyrical art and story leave readers with a universal message of hope and love. Through memories and dreams of all they shared together and through her Dene traditions, she finds comfort and strength. When the author learns of the death of her brother overseas, she embarks on a journey to bring him home.
Questioning the drama of resistance, The Audacity of His Enterprise highlights Riel's part in the negotiations, petition claims, and legal battles that led to the formation of the state from the bottom up. Louis Riel (1844–1885) was an iconic figure in Canadian history best known for his roles in the Red River Resistance of 1869 and the Northwest Resistance of 1885.
