More about the book
Focusing on the cultural resilience of the Chiricahua Apaches, the narrative chronicles their struggles following the surrender of Geronimo and Naiche in 1886. During their captivity, Naiche's hide paintings of the Girl's Puberty Ceremony embodied their spiritual power and served as visual prayers for their survival. The book examines the clash of power between the federal government and the Chiricahua people, highlighting their enduring spirit despite efforts to suppress their culture and identity. Through anthropological insights, the author reveals how this "Power" sustained them during adversity.
