Our school, located in Southwest Phoenix, serves students from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds including a number of local Indigenous tribes and communities. These students, however, rarely get to see themselves and their culture reflected in the classroom, on the syllabus, and in the texts they read.
Learning to love reading starts with capturing student attention, making the reading real and authentic for them; therefore, it's crucial that underrepresented groups are given just as many chances to see and hear their stories as their peers are.
The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline is a novel by an Indigenous Métis author that highlights the struggles and joys of Indigenous people. The book is dynamic and fun to read but still captures important messages about human nature, the historic mistreatment of Indigenous Americans, identity, the power of knowing who you are and where you're from, and hope. This project will allow students who are financially unable to purchase their own book to have their own physical copy of the novel to read as a class, take notes in, and keep forever!
