Summary
Amid the atrocities of both military and civilian Americans against the native Indians, two brave Apache women rise above their People - Lozen and Dahteste. Dahteste accepts a daunting task from the Spiritual God - to reach the high mountain and claim what belongs to their People. Due to her deep brotherly love for Victorio and loyalty to her People, she joins him in many battles to defend the Apaches. Lozen describes to her the horrific massacre of Apaches at the battle of Tres Castillos including the death of Victorio (Lozens brother), their food rations and blankets stolen, and their people dying from the diseases of the white eyes (Americans). The Apache’s feel their souls weaken as they get shipped out to a reservation in Florida, far away from their native land.
