This attribution is significant for several reasons.

It is consistent across multiple oral accounts from people who knew Lozen directly.

It was taken seriously by the Apache people themselves — the specific gift was treated as a real and militarily useful capacity, and there are accounts of decisions being made based on information Lozen provided through this practice.

And it reflects the specific way that the Apache tradition understood the relationship between spiritual power, physical skill, and effective leadership in warfare.

The Apache concept of Power — di-yin in the Apache language — held that certain individuals received specific capabilities or gifts from supernatural sources.
