The Apache language survived, in modified forms.

The core ceremonies and spiritual practices survived, adapted to new conditions.

The oral traditions — the stories, the accounts of specific people and specific events, the community memory that is the irreplaceable foundation of cultural continuity — survived in the minds of people who had lived through the events or learned from those who had.

The survival of the specific memory of Lozen — in the community that had known her, and subsequently in the accounts collected by Eve Ball and other historians — is part of this broader survival.

The Apache people did not forget her.
