Description
In a future ravaged by environmental collapse, the ability to dream has become a lost luxury, and the Canadian government hunts Indigenous peoples for their bone marrow, believed to hold the key to reclaiming this lost gift.

This powerful novel weaves together themes of Indigenous resilience, the enduring strength of storytelling, and the fight to preserve cultural identity against overwhelming oppression. Dimaline's narrative echoes traditional Indigenous storytelling, immersing readers in a world where history, memory, and hope are intertwined.
