Description
You've heard the hit song "Come and Get Your Love" in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy, but the story of the band behind it is one of cultural, political, and social importance.
Brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas were talented Native American rock musicians that took the 1960s Sunset Strip by storm. They influenced The Doors and jammed with Jimmy Hendrix before he was "Jimi," and the idea of a band made up of all Native Americans soon followed. Determined to control their creative vision and maintain their cultural identity, they eventually signed a deal with Epic Records in 1969. But as the American Indian Movement gained momentum the band took a stand, choosing pride in their ancestry over continued commercial reward.
Created in cooperation of the Vegas family, authors Christian Staebler and Sonia Paoloni with artist Thibault Balahy take painstaking steps to ensure the historical accuracy of this important and often overlooked story of America's past. Part biography and part research journalism, Redbone tells a vivid story about this neglected chapter of American history.

Redbone is a graphic novel intended for a young adult/adult audience about a Native American band's fight for their civil rights. The illustrations are vibrant and perfectly capture that 1960s vibe. The story itself is fascinating and worthy of being told. I'm glad this novel is being released into the world!

This is a graphic novel about an oft forgotten part of music history. It is an incredible story about passion, identity, and perseverance against the odds. The art is beautiful. Highly recommend.
