"After the mine opened, San Rafael restaurant owner Yanet Pozuelos opened a second location to help serve hundreds of mine employees.

which seems out of place. There is no clear link between this extended quote and modern Xinca history; the quote is seems cherry-picked from an article which is mainly about Topacio Reynoso's untimely death. It is contrary to the principle of neutral POV to have a single quote in favour of mining in this place. The linked LA Times story is relevant, but a more representative summary would be fairer than this single quote.

Out of place direct quote
In the Modern History section, there is an extended direct quote from a 2017 LA Times article:
