Women of the Apache Nation-Voices of Truth New Ed by H Henrietta Stockel
Stockel sheds light on some of the mysteries surrounding traditional and contemporary Chiricahua Apache culture. Each of the women interviewed emphasizes the importance of storytelling and ritual in preserving Apache heritage. Many ceremonies are still practiced today. In this book, the voices of the Chiricahua women are heard, individually and collectively, describing their history, its effects on them today, and their lives and their hopes for the future.
“The meat of the volume is in the accounts of individual Chiricahua women, several from the late nineteenth century and four outstanding women of todayThere are stirring stories and recollections of Loze, the warrior sister of the Chihenne leader, Victorio; of Ishton, sister of Geronimo and wife of Juh; of Dahteste, who was with Geronimo at his final surrender; and others.” —Alden and Karen Hayes, The Journal of Arizona History
“Although many books chronicle the Apache tribes, this is the first to concentrate on the women.” —Janet Palmer Mullaney, Belles Lettres, Summer 1991
“As Dan Thrapp notes in the foreword to this book, one might think that all Apaches were men, so neglectful have historians been of tribal women. By combining library research with interviews of four outstanding Chiricahua women from the Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and New Mexico Mescalero reservation bands, the author has shown not only the importance of Apache women of yesteryear, but how, via ritual and story-telling, they have kept their culture alive today.” —Richard Dillon, True West, January 1992
“Based on years of research and countless interviews, this unusual book breaks through many of the barriers surrounding traditional as well as contemporary Chiricahua Apache culture. The Indian women that the author interviewed show, in aggregate, the importance of the oral history tradition, and how storytelling and ritual are indigenous to the preservation of the Apache heritage.” —Council Fires Newsletter for Western Americana Enthusiasts
