Themes
Indeginous Culture
Pretty much all the characters are from indeginous descent, making their culture an important theme from the book.
Family
Most of the characters don't have blood family any more and the group is all they have left, and they consider it their family. Its the only family that most of the characters will ever have.
Treason
The main characters are betrayed by Lincoln and Travis, and it is a theme in this book.
Dreams
Dreams are a very important theme is this book, as it's part of the main plot.
Environment
Environment is a big part of the story as it is one of the reasons that their world is post-apocalyptic and why it is so different from ours.
Stories
The characters talk a lot about their stories, and how it makes who they are, and we learn a lot about the characters through their stories, making them a big part of the book

Setting
They live in a post-apocalyptic world, where natural disasters killed millions of people and where people aren't able to dream anymore. Fortunately, this is very different from our world. Although sadly the residential schools were something that happened in our world, even in Canada, where indigenous people were assimilated.
They live in a world where they are constantly chased by the Recruiters, which is way different from ours. I can't imagine how it feels to always be followed and chased by Recruiters or indeginous people helping them, like Travis and Lincoln.
