From the bestselling author of The Misewa Saga and When We Were Alone comes a powerful young adult graphic novel that bridges the gap between history and the present. Collected in a stunning 15th-anniversary omnibus, 7 Generations: A Plains Cree Saga follows one family’s journey over three centuries, exploring the enduring spirit of Indigenous culture and the complex layers of identity.

“[David A. Robertson] weaves an engrossing and unforgettable story with the precision of a historian and the colour of a true Indigenous storyteller.”—Rosanna Deerchild

Through this epic narrative, a modern teenager named Edwin must confront the devastating realities of systemic racism, the legacy of residential schools, and his own intense struggles with mental illness. As he uncovers the history of his ancestors, Edwin undergoes an emotional and spiritual awakening, discovering that true healing lies in reclaiming his mental health, family bonds, and traditional spirituality.

Edwin is struggling to feel connected to his family and his identity. Through the stories shared by his mother, Edwin embarks on an epic journey through time, witnessing the legacy of the Plains Cree and their neighbours, the Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot). As he learns about his ancestors, Edwin must confront the brutal realities of history—from the devastation of smallpox to the intergenerational trauma of residential schools.

Special 15th-anniversary edition features:

  • Complete collection: Features all four original titles (Stone, Scars, Ends, and The Next Generation) collected together in a single stunning graphic omnibus.
  • Enhanced visuals: Beautifully recoloured and relettered to bring the visceral illustrations to life for a new generation of readers.
  • Exclusive content: Includes an insightful new foreword by author David A. Robertson and a moving afterword by bestselling YA author Cherie Dimaline (The Marrow Thieves).

REVIEWS Icon

This is realistic fiction in its truest form. 7 Generations expertly shows readers how we are not separate from our history while reminding us that we have the power to heal our present and our future.



The newly released collected edition offers a powerful reminder of just how emotionally devastating, and quietly resonant, this story remains. It’s been recoloured and relettered, which makes its message all the more powerful.
