The tour and center have become a successful business that is outgrowing the capacity of its facilities.

Apache History
__ Here is a great introduction to Apache history for the younger student. "A
strict code of conduct governed Apache life, based on strong family loyalties.
Each Apache group was composed of extended families or clans. Basic social,
economic, and political units based on female inherited leadership. The most
important bond led from an Apache mother to her children and on to her children.
Marriage within one's own clan is forbidden. When the son married his
obligations from then on were to his mother-in-law's family." You will learn

Arizona in the 1600s. The Apache are described as a gentel people; faithful in

The Sunrise Dance __ "Traditionally, almost every Western Apache girl
had a puberty ceremony, or na'ii'ees ('preparing her,' or 'getting her ready'),
known popularly as the Sunrise Dance. Today, this is no longer true. Although
puberty ceremonies continue to be performed on a regular basis, most Apache
girls now must do without them. Two reasons for this decline are apparent.
First, as a result of inroads made on the traditional religion by missionaries,
some Apaches no longer believe in the effectiveness of na'ii'ees. A second
reason that na'ii'ees is held less and less is its prohibitive cost. The amount
of money and work required is staggering and this condition makes the ceremony
impossible for many people." You will learn much more about the dance. A few

culture. "The Comanches, exceptional horsemen who dominated the Southern Plains,
played a prominent role in Texas frontier history throughout much of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Anthropological evidence indicates that
they were originally a mountain tribe, a branch of the Northern Shoshones, who
roamed the Great Basin region of the western United States as crudely equipped
hunters and gatherers. Both cultural and linguistic similarities confirm the
Comanches' Shoshone origins. The Comanche language is derived from the
Uto-Aztecan linguistic family and is virtually identical to the language of the
Northern Shoshones." - From Texas state Historical Association -
