The Peacemaker: Thanadelthur (2014)

by David Alexander Robertson
(#4 in Tales from Big Spirit)

When Cole's teacher catches him drawing rather than listening in class, he gives Cole a special assignment: an oral presentation on an important Aboriginal figure. Cole will do almost anything to avoid speaking in public -- even feigning illness. But when he hears the story of the remarkable woman known as Thanadelthur -- peacemaker between the Cree and the Dene and interpreter for the governor of Fort York -- he is so inspired by her bravery, he overcomes his own fears.
Tales from Big Spirit is a unique graphic novel series that delves into the stories of great Indigenous heroes from Canadian history -- some already well known and others who deserve to be.
