It seems to be interesting nonfiction, but I have not yet seen it. There are a few sentences about it in The New Yorker ('Briefly Noted,' p. 73, 21 December 2020).
This book "which blends reportage, oral history, and cosmology in an account of conflict over a copper mine in southeastern Arizona. The mine will cause Oak Flat--an ancient burial ground and religious site of the San Carlos Apache--to collapse into a crater a thousand feet deep."
Sadly, I recall hearing nothing of this. The destruction earlier this year of an Aboriginal site by iron mining in Australia was a major controversy and the CEO had to retire.
