The Apache Woman Who Fought Beside Geronimo — And The Forgotten Story Of Lozen, The Warrior History Almost Forgot
Lozen is one of those remarkable individuals.
Her story, recovered from the oral tradition that kept it alive during the decades when the outside world was not paying attention, is a specific and vivid example of what the Apache resistance produced and what was lost when it was defeated.
The question that readers should ask at the end of her story — “How did history forget someone this remarkable?” — is the right question.
The answer involves race, gender, the specific way historical records were constructed and preserved, and the systematic undervaluation of Indigenous peoples and women in the American historical narrative.
