Opis

This study is based on interviews with Chiriccahua Apache women who emphasize the importance of ritual storytelling in preserving their culture. Ceremonies such as the puberty ritual - still practised today - are described, and stories are told of women warrior ancestors. Although many books chronicle the Apache tribes, this study concentrates on the women.
