Apache Warrior Woman
eBook
(Cheops Books Dec. 21, 2013)
The twelve‑year‑old girl stood on the verge of womanhood. Dressed in her finest buckskin clothing and moccasins, her beaded headband and necklace, made specially for the Apache coming‑of‑age ceremony, Lozen held her hands upward toward the sun and prayed to White Painted Woman. Today on the fifth day of the festivities came the ultimate test that would determine her destiny for the rest of her life and welcome her into the tribe as a full‑fledged woman. She had to run several times around the basket that contained all the objects that the Apache considered sacred. If she faltered or tripped she would bring bad luck on the People and on herself.
Holding her head proudly she ran as quickly, flawlessly, and gracefully as a gazelle. People admired her. But soon gasps were heard. A white stallion raced into camp knocking everything over. Lozen overcame her fear, stopped the horse, and mounted it. Her tribe took this as an omen that she was to be its first woman warrior. For her skill in riding the horse, she earned the name Wind Dancer.
Apache Warrior Woman is a fictional juvenile biography for the middle grades based on the life of Lozen, a real Apache warrior woman.
