Available in English for the first time The Apache Indians tells the story of the Norwegian explorer Helge Ingstada's sojourn among the Apaches near the White Mountain Reservation in Arizona and his epic journey to locate the ai??lostai?? group of their brethren in the Sierra Madres in the 1930s.Ingstad travelled to Canada where he lived as a trapper for four years with the Chipewyan Indians. The Chipewyans told him tales about people from their tribe who travelled south never to return. He decided to go south to find the descendants of his Chipewyan friends and determine if they had similar stories. In 1936 Ingstad arrived in the White Mountains and worked as a cowboy with the Apaches. His hunch about the Apachesa' northern origins was confirmed by their stories but the elders also told him about another group of Apaches who had fled from the reservation and were living in the Sierra Madres in Mexico. Ingstad launched an expedition on horseback to find these ai??lostai?? people hoping to record more tales of their possible northern origin but also to document traditions and knowledge that might have been lost among the Apaches living on the reservation.Through Ingstada's keen and observant eyes we catch unforgettable glimpses of the landscape and inhabitants of the southwestern borderlands as he and his Apache companions including one of Geronimoa's warriors embark on a dangerous quest to find the elusive Sierra Madre Apaches. The Apache Indians is a powerful echo of a past that has now become a myth.
