Oak Flat

a fight for sacred land in the American West
Examines the true story of the high-elevation mesa known as Oak Flat, a sacred Apache site in southeastern Arizona where the San Carlos tribe conducts its Sunrise Ceremony, a coming-of-age ritual for Apache girls. Through interview transcripts and illustrations the author tells of how this San Carlos community has been fighting against the U.S. government and two massive mining companies to keep Oak Flat from being destroyed over its vast copper reserves.
