Apache by Tanya Landman


'Apache' is the story of a young girl, Siki, growing up in an Apache village. She is determined to become a warrior and avenge the slaughter of her 4 year old brother. The story is fictional based on actual events at the time of colonisation of North America - from the enslavement of the Apache women and children, to work in the gold mines, to the complete disregard for the land by the 'white eye' settlers. A thoroughly gripping story that highlights many fascinating insights into the Apache Indian culture. Totally loved it!!
