Book Review

Chiricahua Apache Enduring Power: Naiche's Puberty Ceremony Paintings. By Trudy Griffin-Pierce. Foreword by J. Jefferson Reid and Stephanie M. Whittlesey. (Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 2006. xxviii + 185 pp. Illustrations, bibliography, index. $32.95, paper.)

The Chiricahua Apache endured twenty-seven years of exile in Florida, Alabama, and Oklahoma. Trudy Griffin-Pierce, an anthropologist at the University of Arizona, considers the hide paintings of Naiche, a Chiricahua chief exiled from 1886 to 1913. Using the first-person voice throughout this book, she describes her visits to the places Naiche resided while in exile. His artistry in exile, she argues, represents "an act of resistance" (p. 161). Despite the relentless efforts of U. S. policymakers to eradicate Indian culture, Naiche's renderings of a girl's puberty ceremony illustrate the resilience of the Chiricahua Apache.
