Více o knize

The book features twelve oral history interviews that capture the experiences of three generations of Mescalero, Chiricahua, and Lipan Apaches. It explores the impact of the 1945 nuclear explosion on their community, highlighting themes of resilience and hope amidst historical trauma. The interviews are structured around three societal groups: elders, middle-aged "warriors," and young apprentices known as "horseholders." These narratives reflect a collective memory of their people's struggles and their enduring spirit in facing both past and present challenges.
