Seeing What Might Lie Beyond: Hope and Indigenous Futurisms in Cherie Dimaline's The Marrow Thieves
This essay explores the role played by hope in an era of climate emergency, and how in Cherie Dimaline’s (Georgian Bay Métis) prize-winning novel The Marrow Thieves (2017) hope not only emerges from surviving brutal genocidal and ecocidal historical experiences of settler colonialism and capitalism, but also from actively imagining a future that is Indigenous. In taking Dimaline’s text as an example of how we can ‘see what might lie beyond’, this…

This paper analyses that 'thir…
