Injun (Chiricahua Apaches) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Is the law of blood vengeance the only justice for an Apache?

Matthew is a young Apache boy, taken from his family and forced to attend the Indian School at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. There, he is stripped of his identity and taught to be ashamed of his heritage as a pagan Apache. When, as a grown man, Matthew is allowed to return to Fort Sill, Oklahoma where his people are held as prisoners of war, he finds himself a man trapped between two cultures, accepted by neither. The western whites consider him subhuman, a worthless Indian. His own people consider him an outcast spoiled by the white school.

But when his father is killed and his wife is raped and murdered, Matthew knows the law has no justice for him. Under American law an Indian isn’t worth as much as a white man. When a man sheds blood, only blood can balance the scales. It was up to Matthew to seek Apache justice. But the old Apache ways are hard. Will Matthew be strong enough to survive?

All three books of the Chiricahua Apache series—Brother, the Spanish missionary period, Ulzana, the American Indian Wars, and Injun, the final disposition of the Chiricahua Apache—present the most complete understanding of what the Apaches became in terms of what they experienced.
