Beautifully composed and executed look at the sacred land of Oak Flat (for indigenous peoples), that is also a feature in the lands where settlers wound up, and a resource for the destroying copper mining that is its past and (probably) future. Many voices represented. Highly recommended.

Such a powerful book. Makes me so upset knowing that so much of Native American history has been swept under the rug. The inhumane way not only the Apache were treated but how all of the natives to this country have been. Their history and culture literally decimated and white washed. This book gives a view into several generations of Apache people and their struggles to keep their land and way of life alive. Hearing about the Oak Flats and how mining will be double edged sword to their way of life in Arizona was eye opening. The Apache ceremony of a young womans change into woman hood is carried out through the course of this book and while I have not made the full connection to that yet I believe it speaks volumes to an attempt to hold onto their traditions and seems to be one of that last to survive under the oppression they have faced. I don't feel well enough informed to all of this and this drives me to learn more of our countries Native Americans.
Thank you so much PRHAudio for this complimentary listen. The audio was put together so well and the narrations gave the book even more power.
