Constructed as a series of reports to the Department of the Interior, these poems of grief, anger, defiance, and resistance focus on the oppressive educational system adopted by Indian boarding schools and the struggle Native Americans experienced to retain and honor traditional ways of life and culture.

Compiled annually by the U.S. Department of the Interior, this series of reports provides a detailed overview of federal policy and programs related to public lands, natural resources, and Native American affairs. Featuring contributions from leading experts and policymakers, the reports are an invaluable resource for anyone interested in environmental policy and natural resource management.
