Indeh: A Story of the Apache Wars
Description
Based on exhaustive research, this graphic novel offers a remarkable glimpse
into the raw themes of cultural differences, the horrors of war, the search
for peace, and, ultimately, retribution. The Apache left an indelible mark on
our perceptions of the American West; Indeh shows us why. The year is 1872.
The place, the Apache nations, a region torn apart by decades of war. The
people, like Goyahkla, lose his family and everything he loves. After having a
vision, the young Goyahkla approaches the Apache leader Cochise, and the
entire Apache nation, to lead an attack against the Mexican village of Azripe.
It is this wild display of courage that transforms the young brave Goyakhla
into the Native American hero Geronimo. But the war wages on. As they battle
their enemies, lose loved ones, and desperately cling on to their land and
culture, they would utter, “Indeh,” or “the dead.” When it looks like lasting
peace has been reached, it seems like the war is over. Or is it? Indeh
captures the deeply rich narrative of two nations at war — as told through
the eyes of Naiches and Geronimo — who then try to find peace and
forgiveness. Indeh not only paints a picture of some of the most magnificent
characters in the history of our country, but it also reveals the spiritual
and emotional cost of the Apache Wars. Read more
