Journeys to Complete the Work

Published by the Ziibiwing Center for Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways, Journeys to Complete the Work (2017–present) is a single-issue comic that blends Indigenous archaeology with community storytelling. Written by Jen Shannon, John G. Swogger, and Sonya Atalay, and illustrated by Swogger, it follows Anishinabe youth as they explore ancestral sites and cultural knowledge alongside tribal elders and archaeologists. This series matters as a collaborative, culturally grounded work that uses the comic form to share Anishinabe perspectives on heritage and stewardship.
