Book Review

Chiricahua Apache Women and Children: Safekeepers of the Heritage. By H. Henrietta Stockel. (College Station: Texas A & M University Press, 2000. xvi + 115 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $24.95.)

Chiricahua Apache Women and Children: Safekeepers of the Heritage is, according to the author H. Henrietta Stockel, a book "somewhere between a full-blown ethno-historical monograph and an almost personal memoir" (p. xii). Within the bounds of those parameters, Stockel set out to tell "the truth about the Chiricahua to as many people as possible" (p. ix). With her inquiry, she fills gaps in previous research by delving into the often "overlooked duties and experiences of the historical Chiricahua Apache women and the significant influences they exerted on the family." After exploring traditional women's culture, Stockel presents a study of four Chiricahua Apache women who lived an alternative lifestyle--they were warriors. From this extremely interesting chapter, she proceeds to close the book with a study of Mildred Cleghorn, a contemporary Apache woman who spent twenty years as the chairperson of the Fort Sill Chiricahua/Warm Springs Apache Tribe in Oklahoma and was a close friend of the author, serving as Stockel's "Apache mother." . . .
