The most notable other example from the historical period is Dahteste — a Chiricahua Apache woman who served as an interpreter and sometimes as a warrior during the final phase of the Apache resistance.

Dahteste spoke English well enough to serve as a translator between the Apache leadership and the United States military, a role that was both dangerous and critically important during the negotiations of the 1880s.

She survived the wars and the prisoner years and lived into the twentieth century.

Dahteste’s story has somewhat more documentary evidence than Lozen’s — her role as interpreter meant that she appeared in the records of negotiation and communication between the Apache and the Army in ways that pure warriors did not.

She was a real, documented historical figure whose existence and role in the events of the Apache Wars is confirmed by both the oral tradition and the written record.
