I Am Apache

2008

by Tanya Landman

I Am Apache is a gripping tale set in the nineteenth-century American Southwest. It follows the journey of a young Apache woman, Siki, who is determined to avenge her brother's death by becoming a warrior. Filled with a burning desire for vengeance, she turns away from the traditional path expected of her.

Under the tutelage of Golahka, the greatest warrior of her tribe, Siki's skills grow, and she passes test after test. However, whispers from men like the envious Keste about her father's dishonorable death sow seeds of doubt. As she earns her place among the warriors, Siki begins to sense a dark secret in her pastโ€”one that could challenge everything she knows about herself.

This riveting narrative draws on historical accounts to imagine the struggles of the Black Mountain Apache as they fight for survival against the encroaching progress of other nations. It's a story of courage, identity, and the unyielding spirit of a woman warrior.
