Artist reference notes for an Apache piece. She really is an expert at the adorable mouthless, "Hello Kitty" face.
American settlers established a trading post called the Canyon Lodge, which was later renamed Two Guns. The traders had a good relationship with the Navajo, but things changed when the U.S. Cavalry rounded up the Navajo tribe in 1864 and place them on a reservation at Fort Sumner, New Mexico. After being imprisoned for four years they were released in 1868. Many of them returned to Canyon Diablo.
The area was the site of a major confrontation between the bitter enemies of the Navajo and the Apache. In 1878, a group of Apache warriors attacked a Navajo camp and murdered everyone with the exception of three Navajo girls who were taken as prisoners. Afterward, they raided and looted the area. In response, Navajo warriors from another camp sent their men after the Apache. They finally found them hidden in a cave and the Navajo lit sagebrush fires at the cave’s exit and shot any warrior who tried to escape. In the end, 42 Apache men died and were stripped of their valuables. The murder site is referred to as the “Death Cave.”
