By the time Eve Ball interviewed him in the mid-twentieth century, he was one of the last surviving people with direct childhood memories of the figures of the Victorio War period.

His accounts of Lozen are specific in the way that direct memory tends to be specific: not abstract characterizations but concrete scenes and moments.

He described her as someone whose presence was felt as something beyond ordinary — as a person who commanded attention and respect in ways that reflected both her personal qualities and the specific gift the tradition attributed to her.

The specific detail of her power to locate enemies — described in terms of the ceremony she performed, the physical sensation in her palms, the way the information came — is preserved in Kaywaykla’s accounts with the kind of specificity that suggests it was not an invention or an elaboration but a genuine description of something he had witnessed or been told about by people who had witnessed it.
