The article I chose for this topic is titled “A Standing Rock on the Border?”, which takes place in the US-Mexico border in the state of Arizona. The parties involved in this conflict are the US Border Patrol which is an American federal law enforcement agency, a body of the US government and the Tohono O’odham tribe members and activists. The issue that is promoting contact between the two groups is the increasing federal presence like the border construction which have caused the destruction of a burial site which consisted old human remains with some dating back to the 12th century and the fear of the border posts being replaced by a massive wall issued to be constructed by the US government.
