No Parole Today
Lyrical and angry, No Parole Today records Laura Tohe’s experiences with boarding school life, as well as those of her mother and grandmother. It also explores the joys and tragedies of growing up on and off the Diné (Navajo) Reservation.
Tohe’s Indian boarding school experience is a vivid portrait of the U.S. government’s effort — and failure — to assimilate and eradicate Native American culture.
