Beautifully illustrated. Deep reporting of two different families, a tiny town with a gritty (read: some details I did not need) past, and the fight of a lifetime to protect sacred land. This book introduced me to this issue that is now very close to my heart. I will be following this very closely.

Really important and wonderful read! Its format is not a gimmick but used to the author's full advantage, encapsulating the scale and voices of the issues at play.

A 3.5. Gorgeous illustrations that I think carried the text in lots of places — I didn’t find her writing style as colourful as the illos and often the narrative got lost entirely (and ended particularly weakly). Begs the question of what is the purpose of this writing — is it a piece of journalism? A call to arms? It feels like neither, and that feels inappropriate given that the subject matter it’s trying to highlight (And the title!) suggests there is a thing to be done and a claim to be supported. What is the author doing after writing this book to galvanise support for the San Carlos Apache ?

The more I learn about Indigenous people the more I wonder why not that many people care about their plight.
abbydee's review against another edition
I have a lot of respect and admiration for this as a project. Unfortunately–and I hope I’m a meaningless minority here–I don’t like the art. Can’t help it. A matter of taste. But the interviews are great, and I hope this is at the forefront of a trend of illustrated journalism that will endure long into the future.
