"The year is 1872, the place is the Apache nation, a region torn apart by decades of war. Goyahkla, a young brave, has lost his family and everything he loves, After having a vision, he approaches the Apache leader Cochise to lead an attack against the Mexican village of Azripe. It is this wild display of courage that transforms the young brave Goyahkla into the Native American hero Geronimo. But the Apache Wars wage on. As they battle their enemies, lose loved ones, and desperately cling to their land and culture, they utter 'Indeh,' or 'the dead." When it appears that lasting peace has been reached, it seems like the war is over. Or is it?"--Jacket flap.
