Dispatches from the Fort Apache Scout
In the 1970s, the White Mountain Apache Tribe and the Arizona Historical Society began working together on a series of innovative projects aimed at preserving, perpetuating, and sharing Apache history. Underneath it all was a group of people dedicated to this important goal.Dispatches from the Fort Apache Scoutis the latest outcome of that ongoing commitment.The book showcases and annotates dispatches published between June 1973 and October 1977, in the tribe'sFort Apache Scoutnewspaper. This twenty-eight-part series of articles shared Western Apache culture and history through 1881 and the Battle of Cibecue, emphasizing early encounters with Spanish, Mexican, and American outsiders. Along the way, rich descriptions of Ndee ties to the land, subsistance, leadership, and values emerge. The articles were the result of the dogged work of journalist, librarian, and historian Lori Davisson along with Edgar Perry, a charismatic leader of White Mountain Apache culture and history programs, and his staff who prepared these summaries of historical information for the local readership of theScout.Davisson helped to pioneer a mutually beneficial partnership with the White Mountain Apache Tribe. Pursuing the same goal, Welch's edited book of the dispatches stakes out common ground for understanding the earliest relations between the groups contesting Southwest lands, powerfully illustrating how, as elder Cline Griggs, Sr., writes in the prologue, \"the past is present.\"Dispatches from theFort Apache Scout is both a tribute to and continuation of Davisson's and her colleagues' work to share the broad outlines and unique details of the early history of Ndee and Ndee lands.

A Fateful Day in 1698
In 1698, the Apache and their allies attacked a sleeping Sobaipuri-O’odham village on the San Pedro River at the northern edge of New Spain, now in southern Arizona. This book, about one of the most important Southwestern battles of the era in this region, reads like a mystery. At the same time, it addresses in a scholarly fashion the methodological question of how we can confidently infer anything reliable about the past.
Translations of original Spanish accounts by Father Kino and others convey important details about the battle, while the archaeological record and ethnographic and oral traditions provide important correctives to the historic account. A new battlefield signature of native American conflict is identified, and the fiery context of the battle provides unprecedented information about what the Sobaipuri grew and hunted in this out-of-the-way location, including the earliest known wheat.
That this tumultuous time was a period of flux is reflected in the defensive, communal, and ceremonial architecture of the O'odham, which accommodated Spanish tastes and techniques. Practices specific to the O’odham as they relate to the day’s events and to village life illuminate heretofore unexplained aspects of the battle. The book also records a visit by descendant O’odham, reinforcing the importance of identifying the historically documented location.
A Fateful Day in 1698 will be of significant interest to archaeologists and historians.

Drumbeats from Mescalero
Wisdom from the past . . . hope for the future . . .
In 1945 the hot wind from a nuclear explosion at Trinity Site on a nearby missile range raged across the Mescalero Apache Reservation in south-central New Mexico, killing hundreds of head of livestock and causing sickness among the descendants of some of the most famous Apache heroes in American history. In many ways, this disaster typified what these Apaches had come to expect from the federal government: attention was often accompanied by undesired results.
Four thousand Apaches of the Mescalero, Chiricahua, and Lipan bands now live on this reservation. In twelve remarkable oral history interviews, three generations of Mescalero, Chiricahua, and Lipan Apaches reflect on the trials of the past, the challenges of the present, and hope for the future. A common thread among all of the interviewees is a collective memory of their people as formidable enemies of the U.S. government in the not-too-distant past.
Author and ethnographer H. Henrietta Stockel has structured these interviews to encompass three groups of Mescalero Apache society: the elders, the “warriors” (middle-aged), and the “horseholders,” or young apprentices.

Book
Lessons from Fort Apache
Lessons from Fort Apache is an ethnography of Indigenous
language dynamics on the Fort Apache reservation in Arizona with
North American and global implications concerning language
endangerment. Moving beyond a narrow focus on linguistic
documentation, M. Eleanor Nevins examines how the linguistics and
cultural identities of Indigenous populations are attributed with
meaning against other sociocultural concerns and interests. While
affirming the value of language documentation and maintenance,
Nevins also provides a much-needed appraisal of the potential
conflicts in authority claims and language practices between
community members and the educators and scholars who research their
linguistic heritage. Nevins argues that the debates surrounding the
revitalization of Indigenous languages need broadening to include
larger questions of social mediation, shifting cultural identities,
and the politics intrinsic to the relationship between Indigenous
community members and university-accredited experts such as
language researchers and educators. This engaging ethnography
examines these questions and investigates the language dynamics of
the Fort Apache Reservation, including the unintended challenges
that standardized textual models sometimes pose to local interests.
Nevins reveals the community's historical and contemporary concerns
for language documentation, maintenance, and revitalization.
Lessons from Fort Apache demonstrates the need for
language maintenance programs and for flexibility in finding
politically sustainable forms of collaboration and exchange between
researchers, teachers, and those community members who base their
claims to an Indigenous language in alternate terms.
