In this section of The Marrow Thieves, Dimaline uses Minerva, Rose, and Wab’s stories to establish the themes of trauma, physical and sexual violence. Minerva’s story—which her grandmother told “when me and my sisters were turning into women,” centers around a mythical, werewolf-like character called the Rogarou. The abuse serves as a metaphor for the indigenous struggle.
