The Marrow Thieves

My question is in the detail because it would not fit here. Below is my question.

On page 26, RiRi asks Frenchie to tell her stories because, according to French, she is “desperate for some understanding, the understanding that was withheld from her youth so that she could form into a real human before she understood that some saw her as little more than a crop” (26). Explain what Frenchie is talking about when he says that they [Indigenous people] are like a crop.

Aboriginal peoples tend to be rooted in oral history. Identity and purpose are borne out of myths and legends from long ago. These stories provide growth and direction for characters like Riri.
