The Marrow Thieves is a 2017 Canadian dystopian Indigenous dark fantasy novel by Cherie Dimaline.The book's plot revolves around a futuristic North America ruined by climate change, where the few remaining Indigenous people are at risk because, as the only people left who can dream, they are being forcibly taken and having their bone marrow harvested in suspicious factories by "recruiters". As the bones are removed from the "donors", they are murdered in the process. One teenage Indigenous boy, Frenchie, gathers a small group of dissidents to resist the practice altogether. While the bone marrow is supposedly the cure the world needs to reconcile the planet's ecological issues, Frenchie believes that there must be a better way.This book contains examples of the following tropes: | |

Crapsack World: Canada might not be an overly populous or industrial country, but the plight of climate change destroyed most of the country and left a dystopian hellhole where a group of people are harvested for parts based on their race. | |

Allegory | |

Allegory: Canada's residential school system, which recruited (or in many cases just took) Indigenous children from their homes and attempted to forcibly assimilate them, often with abusive and deadly results. | |

Green Aesop: The plight of climate change would never have ravaged North America if not for those pesky corporations and lack of positive change. | |
