The story of the Chiricahua Apaches’ conflicts first with the Spaniards and Mexicans who claimed their homeland, and later with the Americans expanding into the region in a policy of Manifest Destiny, has become a mix of history and heresy. The full story will never be completely known.

This presentation contains a collection of historic photos from the end of an era - the late 1800s that tell the story of the clash of the people trying save their life-ways and home- land and the people who believed the land was empty and open for settlement.
