The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline
Humanity has
nearly destroyed its world through global warming, but now an even greater evil
lurks. The indigenous people of North America are being hunted and harvested
for their bone marrow, which carries the key to recovering something the rest
of the population has lost: the ability to dream. In this dark world, Frenchie
and his companions struggle to survive as they make their way up north to the
old lands. For now, survival means staying hidden&;but what they don't know
is that one of them holds the secret to defeating the marrow thieves.
Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse
Maggie Hoskie is a
Dinétah monster hunter, a supernaturally gifted killer. When a small town needs
help finding a missing girl, Maggie is their last best hope. But what Maggie
uncovers about the monster is much more terrifying than anything she could
imagine.
Maggie reluctantly enlists the aid of Kai Arviso, an unconventional
medicine man, and together they travel the rez, unraveling clues from ancient
legends, trading favors with tricksters, and battling dark witchcraft in a
patchwork world of deteriorating technology.
As Maggie discovers the truth behind the killings, she will have to
confront her past if she wants to survive.
Welcome to the Sixth World.
Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq
Fact can be as strange as fiction. It can also be as dark, as violent, as
rapturous. In the end, there may be no difference between them.
A girl grows up in Nunavut in the 1970s. She
knows joy, and friendship, and parents' love. She knows boredom, and
listlessness, and bullying. She knows the tedium of the everyday world, and the
raw, amoral power of the ice and sky, the seductive energy of the animal world.
She knows the ravages of alcohol, and violence at the hands of those she should
be able to trust. She sees the spirits that surround her, and the immense power
that dwarfs all of us.
When she becomes pregnant, she must navigate all
this.
Veering back and forth between the grittiest
features of a small arctic town, the electrifying proximity of the world of
animals, and ravishing world of myth, Tanya Tagaq explores a world where the
distinctions between good and evil, animal and human, victim and transgressor,
real and imagined lose their meaning, but the guiding power of love remains.
Haunting, brooding, exhilarating, and tender all
at once, Tagaq moves effortlessly between fiction and memoir, myth and reality,
poetry and prose, and conjures a world and a heroine readers will never forget.
The Break by Katherena Vermette
When Stella, a young mother in an Indigenous community, looks out her
window one wintry evening and spots someone being attacked on the Break - a
barren field on an isolated strip of land outside her house - she calls the
police. By the time help arrives, all that is left of the struggle is blood on
the snow. As the search for the victim intensifies, people who are connected,
both directly and indirectly - police, family, and friends - tell their
personal stories leading up to that fateful night, uncovering secrets and
resentments long buried and giving blazing testimony to the lived reality of
people pushed out to the coldest edges of modern Canada.

Those Who Run in the Sky by Aviaq Johnston
This teen novel, written by Iqaluit-based Inuit author Aviaq Johnston, is a coming-of-age story that follows a young shaman named Pitu as he learns to use his powers and ultimately finds himself lost in the world of the spirits.
After a strange and violent blizzard leaves Pitu stranded on the sea ice, without his dog team or any weapons to defend himself, he soon realizes that he is no longer in the word that he once knew. The storm has carried him into the world of the spirits, a world populated with terrifying creatures---black wolves with red eyes, ravenous and constantly stalking him; water-dwelling creatures that want nothing more than to snatch him and pull him into the frigid ocean through an ice crack. As well as beings less frightening, but equally as incredible, such as a lone giant who can carry Pitu in the palm of her hand and keeps caribou and polar bears as pets.
After stumbling upon a fellow shaman who has been trapped in the spirit world for many years, Pitu must master all of his shamanic powers to make his way back to the world of the living, to his family, and to the girl that he loves.
