She sat on the Tularosa and Mescalero Apache school boards and the New Mexico Indian Education Advisory Council, worked to preserve the Mescalero-Chiricahua language, and received the governor's award for outstanding New Mexican women in 1988. She was raised at Three Rivers, New Mexico, and lived there all her life.Contents: List of Illustrations; Preface; Selected Dates Important in the Lives of the Four Generations; Part One, Warfare and Flight: The Early Life of Dilth-cleyhen; Part Two, Beshad-e: Turmoil and Imprisonment; Part Three, Days of Adjustment and Acculturation: The Life of Christine Louise Kozine; Part Four, Today's Apache Woman: Narcissus Duffy Gayton; Notes; Bibliography; Index.…
