The Seam
Location from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The poorest quarter of the poorest district — a neighborhood of coal-dusted shacks where hunger is the baseline and the only way out is the mines or the arena.
Also known as: the Seam
What They Know
- Seam residents are distinguishable by dark hair, olive skin, and grey eyes — distinct from merchant families
- Mine explosions are common and miners receive no meaningful safety protections or compensation
- Katniss's father died in a mine explosion when she was eleven, forcing her to become the family provider
- Tessera — extra grain rations in exchange for additional Reaping entries — keeps Seam families alive and endangered
