goodcraic2i6n ::: Favorites While I'm happy about the girls' success with their White Woman Ceremonies, I'm a little miffed to actually see it on video. It's a very sacred thing, and television has a way of discounting and minimizing the importance of things. I dunno. Maybe it's just me. Maybe my kind of attitude is the sort that leads non-Apaches to mythologize our modern-day lives. Who knows, right? 07-08-12 15:31:56 _____________________________________________________

gozho08 ::: Favorites i am of the san carlos apache, and we do this ceremony very very different. we dont use no little rattles and the way they dance is weird. i've never seen it done like this. San Carlos in Arizona is very different. they do a lot more things than the other apache reservations. its a unique way to see it 07-08-14 19:23:22 _____________________________________________________

Lozenbrownbear ::: Favorites In this world we have many kinds of ways and people. I'm Mescalero Apache, and I say all you people posting such rude remarks should grow up! So your ways are different, great, who wants everyone to be the same, and the others that post lower minded remarks. They have medication for people like you. Get some help. 07-08-14 21:36:56 _____________________________________________________

Tarsan97 ::: Favorites As a European it seems like a great fine culture you got. Be proud of it and preserve it. 07-08-18 16:57:43 _____________________________________________________
ApacheBIood ::: Favorites Yeah I agree with you but do you think that you could survive one or two weeks in the wild with no technology.With buck skin I don't think that any boy would do and if I am wrong tell me. 07-08-20 23:21:44 _____________________________________________________
Sorontari ::: Favorites Kids today probably would not be able to survive without their cell phone. Some day they may have to. If boys are put through an initiation to celebrate their transformation to manhood and taught how to be mature, it would change a lot. Kids today are no shown how to except their responsibility. Someday it may be forced on them. I am not saying they should be put out into the wilderness for a week. I think they should be guided into knowledge. 07-08-21 23:18:59 _____________________________________________________
