Luci Tapahonso

Luci Tapahonso was the first poet laureate of the Navajo Nation. Among her six books of poetry are A Radiant Curve and A Breeze Swept Through. Her poems have been collected in the Norton Anthology of Literature by Women and on Rhino Records’ “In Their Own Voices: A Century of Recorded Poetry.”

Some Native children were sent thousands of miles away. Others, like Oreos Eriacho, were housed closer to home, in now-decaying dorms like this one, in Ramah, N.M.
