What is an example of imagery in the book?

Throughout The Marrow Thieves, French, Rose, Minerva, and many other Indigenous characters braid their hair. The frequent imagery of braids comes to represent the characters' indigeneity, as well as their connection with their ancestors and cultural traditions. When the Recruiters capture Minerva, they cut her hair as a way of emphasizing their control over her identity; in turn, French and Rose cut their own hair to signify their mourning for Minerva.
