I saw both of the Recruiters now: high-waisted navy shorts, gym socks with red stripes pulled up to their knees above low, mesh-sided sneakers, the kind that make you look fast and professional. Their polo shirts were partially covered with zip-front windbreakers one shade lighter than their shorts. The logo on the left side was unreadable from this distance, but I knew what it said: "Government of Canada: Department of Oneirology." Around their necks, on white cords, hung those silver whistles.

French (in narration), p. 16

From the outset of the novel, Dimaline presents dreams as a central theme. Miig explains to the youth that dreams are woven into the marrow of their bones from the day they are born. “That’s where they pluck them from,” he explains ominously. While the reader does not yet know the precise relationship between the capacity to dream, bone marrow, and the hunting of Native people, Dimaline foreshadows that society is waging a war against Indigenous people in a violent effort to regain the capacity to dream. One moment of foreshadowing is the logos on the Recruiters’ shirts, which read: “Government of Canada: Department of Oneirology.” Oneirology refers to the scientific study of dreams.
