Apache Mothers and Daughters, an illustrated family history of four generations of Chiricahua Apache women from 1848 to the present, is an eloquent testimonial to the strength and the stamina of Apache women. Over the course of thirtyfive years, anthropologist Ruth McDonald Boyer collected the remembrances of Narcissus Duffy Gayton, greatgreatgranddaughter 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.The story begins with Dilthcheyhen, Victorios daughter, whose life encompassed much of the traditional cultures of the Tchihn band of the Chiricahua Apaches. Her daughter, Beshde, was just sixteen in 1886 when the twentysevenyear incarceration of the Chiricahuas began. Beshde and her family were forced to move to Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, and then New Mexico, where the Mescalero Apaches remain today. When Beshdes daughter Christine died of tuberculosis in her twenties, she left her daughter Narcissus in Beshdes care. After struggling to complete her education, Narcissus returned to serve her tribe as a registered nurse and an advocate for health care.This account documents rituals such as the puberty rite and the cradlemaking ceremony, the importance of religion (traditional as well as Anglo) in Apache life, and the intense bond between Apache mothers and daughters.
