Exploring the conflict over the US-Mexico border, the book delves into the experiences of Apache, Tohono O'odham, and Maya communities defending their sacred lands. It traces the evolution of militarized surveillance from historical colonial practices to contemporary technologies, highlighting Arizona's role as "Optics Valley." By examining Indigenous sacredsciences, the author advocates for ancestral land-based practices as essential tools to combat the ecological and social harms caused by surveillance and colonization.
