Hill is best-known for his series of graphic novels detailing various issues regarding indigenous decolonization, anti-capitalism, anti-globalization and anti-fascism, with a specific focus on armed struggle.
[1] Under the pseudonym Zig Zag, Hill runs a blog called Warrior Publications, documenting protests and resistance of Indigenous peoples all around the globe.
The comic book features well known clashes between colonizers and Indigenous peoples as well as events that are not commonly taught in conventional American curricula.
In this lecture Hill also described some of his artistic influences, including Art Wilson, a Gitxsan citizen from British Columbia, Canada, who published a book in 1996 called the Heartbeat of the Earth: A First Nations Artist Records Injustice and Resistance, focusing on the struggles with logging and fisheries in Canada during the 1980s.
[5] Academic journals have written about 500 Years of Resistance positively, praising its use of the graphic form to convey colonial history[6] as well as the perspective Hill brings to comic-book writing as an Indigenous artist.
