Abstract

Critical essay titled Adolescent Literature & Intersectional Oppression by Zacharia Jefferson Macneal Cross in UReCA: The NCHC Undergraduate Journal of Research and Creative Activity, 2021, pages 73-78.

First paragraph

Healing Historical Trauma in The Marrow Thieves

In this essay I examine how Cherrie Dimaline’s The Marrow Thieves acknowledges and works through the struggles of Native Americans, allowing the characters a way through their seemingly impossible survival and clearing a path to heal their historical trauma. The ability to dream is a key element of this processing of trauma, as well as the very thing that they are hunted for.
