Just so Amazing the thread of history yr great grandfather had, from the days of Victorio and Geronimo, to surviving the brutality of Japanese POW camp. Was Yahnozha related by marriage or anything to CrookNeck of the Lipan group?

The book is written by a Norwegian writer and legendary adventurer Helge Ingstad. He is dead now,- died about 6-7 years ago at the age of 101 ! He wrote the book : The Lost Tribe,- where he described his travel in 1931-32 from White River Apache reservation to Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico where he tried to find the last Apaches hiding in the mountains there. I followed his tracks and made two documentary films for the Norwegian Television.

I read that book, and lived with the Rarurame, or Tarahumaras, just to the south. I’d heard while working as a tour guide in Apache country, the Gila Cliffdwellings National monument…of Apaches living the old way through the 1910s, and of a young Apache Girl found in Sonora in THE 1930s…..What a wealth of tales. Wish I could’ve toured with you guys

How interesting that I'm a Chiricahua Apache, but my father was Badriver Ojibwe, Menominee and Norwegian descent, hence my name Ewell Fossum, Fossum came from Oslo, Norway.

It’s weird hearing her say at 2:40 “spoke Mexican.” Cuz a lot of apache families including mine were from Mexico and speak fluent Spanish . 😂 so it’s kinda funny hearing one say spoke Mexican lol.

[@undeadsniperrr4455]

I’m from whiteriver (wmat) and nobody speaks Spanish there

[@juanluislongoriagranados6161]

@@undeadsniperrr4455 But exist the Nakaiyé clan, maybe now no speak spanish, but before, yes

[@dannyhuskerjay]

@@undeadsniperrr4455 look up the lipan band on KZbin. All the videos they are speaking Spanish lol

[@ZorroTango]

I think there are several points that Helge Ingstad makes about this. Similarities in the language and stories that old apaches told him , - that also are part of their myths. (Telling that they came from the North). ... Could be, but nobody realy knows !

[@davidhlnda]

I mean it’s all in the language, you can draw a line from the Athabaskans in Canada and Alaska, thru the Kuakiutl on the NW coast, into Navajo country, and finally the Dnai' or Apache. They all have a strong relationship linguistically. Of course they say they originated in their present homeland….I like to think it’s their molecular structure , which DOES originate in the Corn and deer of Ariz, New Mex, and old Mexico!

I'm not Apache, I'm Diegueno or as the young one's call us Kumeyaay, Grandma looks a lot like my Aunt Nancy. My grandma was always in the kitchen, she felt more comfortable in her tiny kitchen lol. She told us many stories about being hidden in the caves at night so the Catholic Priests couldn't steal the kids. The priests would steal kids between the ages of 5 and 17 to use as slaves to build the San Diego missions.

People don’t realize but Mexicans are native Americans
