As of today, my book, The Hunt, is available at bookstores everywhere.

It’s a story about the American West — about ideology, politics, power, and wolves.

Some writers I truly admire were kind enough to give the book an early read. Here’s what they had to say.

[ProPublica @propublica]

New: Contractors erecting a second border wall along the southern boundary of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona have bulldozed a path for equipment, uprooting plants and unearthing Native American remains. https://t.co/cmmU0DK1dy

It's been standard practice for DHS secretaries to waive NAGPRA (a law that, among many other things, requires surveying for Indigenous remains on federal land and penalizes damaging them) since the Bush administration. The human consequences of this policy are playing out in AZ

On Sept. 8, remains were found in the vicinity of wall construction.

Lorraine Eiler, a Hia-Ced O’odham elder with family members buried on the monument, expects more to come.

“They’re going to find remains wherever they dig,” she told @propublica.

NEW: Tribal leaders have warned for months that the Trump administration’s rapid construction of a second border wall on Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument would disturb Native American remains.

They were right.
