Over the course of thirty-five years, anthropologist Ruth McDonald Boyer collected the remembrances of Narcissus Duffy Gayton, great-great-granddaughter of the Apache chief Victorio. This intimate record of Apache life, told from an Apache perspective, highlights the key roles women play in tribal life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The story begins with Dilth-cheyhen, Victorio's daughter, whose life encompassed much of the traditional cultures of the Tchi-h n  band of the Chiricahua Apaches. Her daughter, Besh d-e, was just sixteen in 1886 when the twenty-seven-year incarceration of the Chiricahuas began. Besh d-e and her family were forced to move to Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, and then New Mexico, where the Mescalero Apaches remain today. When Besh d-e's daughter Christine died of tuberculosis in her twenties, she left her daughter Narcissus in Besh d-e's care. After struggling to complete her education, Narcissus returned to serve her tribe as a registered nurse and an advocate for health care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This account documents rituals such as the puberty rite and the cradle-making ceremony, the importance of religion (traditional as well as Anglo) in Apache life, and the intense bond between Apache mothers and daughters.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98 x 8.78 x 5.72 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 15, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45942691627193,"sku":"9780806129228","price":53.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/4309\/4713\/files\/NG9BUlNSMEtLNTd6SUVqWTJWRWlhdz09.webp?v=1769379453","url":"https:\/\/thoobo.com\/products\/apache-mothers-and-daughters-paperback","provider":"Thoobo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
