A Girl Called Echo

Katherena Vermette and artist Scott B. Henderson bring Métis history to vivid life in A Girl Called Echo, a four-issue series from Highwater Press that began in 2017. The story follows a contemporary Métis teenager who is mysteriously transported back in time to key moments in her people's past, blending present-day teen life with immersive historical journeys. Vermette's poetic storytelling and Henderson's expressive artwork create a powerful, intimate lens on Métis identity and resilience. This series matters for its authentic, youth-centered exploration of Indigenous history, told with warmth and care by a creative team deeply rooted in the community it depicts.
