Oak Flat: A Fight for Sacred Land in the American West by Lauren Redniss

4.0

beautiful storytelling and artwork. this is visual nonfiction about an Apache family and their community fighting against a multibillion dollar mining corporation who wants to drill for copper on their sacred land. I loved how this story was told and how it includes the thoughts/histories of so many people. the varying viewpoints were an interesting touch and the questions imposed regarding maintaining tradition, improving circumstances, and going with/against capitalism were thought-provoking. I learned A LOT from this and recommend if you’re interested in learning more about this topic.
