Overview

Considers colonial schoolprison systems in relation to the self-determination of Native communities, nations, and peoples The SchoolPrison Trust describes interrelated histories, ongoing ideologies, and contemporary expressions of what the authors call the ""schoolprison trust"": a conquest strategy encompassing the boarding school and juvenile prison models, and deployed in the long war against Native peoples. At its heart, the book is a constellation of stories of Indigenous self-determination in the face of this ongoing conquest. Following the stories of an incarcerated young man named Jakes, the authors consider features of schoolprison relations for young Native people to ask urgent questions about Indigenous sovereignty, conquest, survivance, and refusal.
