Klappentext This book reinterprets Southwestern history before the US-Mexican War through a case study of the poorly understood Apaches de paz and their adaptation to Hispanic rule. Zusammenfassung Aimed at scholars of American Indians, early North America, and colonial Mexico, this book explores how Apache groups negotiated peace and adapted to Spanish and Mexican colonialism. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it combines Spanish documents from archives in Spain, Mexico, and the US, with anthropology, archaeology, and Ndé (Apache) oral history.
