Provenance: Collected at Fort Sills, Oklahoma, by Miss Hendrina Hospers, “on to the buckskin, Naiche made them to sell. I gave him $10 for it. I think you are right about the battle between Geronimo’s band, with Naiche an ‘assistant’ to Geronimo and U.S. Army Apache Scouts. I came to Mescalero with the band in 1913, I believe it was, so I must of bought the buckskin about 1908. I was in Fort Sill 6 1/2 years.” The present owner’s great-grandfather, Richard H. Harper, was a missionary to the Apache along with Miss Hospers; she gave the robe to the present owner’s father, Mr. D. Harper Simms.

Many kids on the rez grow up being taught by nonNatives. They don’t have a role model to show them their culture and teach them about their tribe and why these things are important. So a lot of those kids end up in trouble. I know, I was one of them. Now I want to get my degree so I can work with kids and make them excited to stay in school.
