    The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline

     Introduction
    o Brief summary of the book
    o Define: Utopian and Dystopian
     Thesis statement
    o Arguments #1, #2, #3

    Points to consider
     Familiar light: residential schools in Canada (closed in 1996)
     Shared persecution brings the group together (bond and form a real family)
    o Consists of people of various indigenous identities
     The term indigenous is troublesome = does not recognize the actual identities of
    individuals
     Story-telling roots in indigenous cultures
     Idea of losing the ability to dream = loss of our unconscious aspects
    o Wholly repressed
    o Succumbed to a subjective indoctrination
     Colonialism is inseparable from the story of climate change
