History’s answer, for too long, was focused on Cochise and Geronimo, on the leaders whose names the Army knew and the newspapers printed.

The specific individuals below that level of celebrity — the warriors, the scouts, the women who rode and fought and protected and endured — were invisible.

Lozen was among the invisible.

She was Victorio’s sister, his shield, a warrior of exceptional capability who contributed to one of the most remarkable military resistances in American history.

She was recognized by her own people as someone of extraordinary importance.

She died in captivity, far from home, before the world outside her community knew her name.
