Apache Voices: Their stories of survival as told to Eve Ball (2000) by Sherry Robinson
This book contains many interesting stories of various Apache tribes: Warm Springs, Chiricahuas, Nednhis, Mescaleros, and Lipans.
An interesting chapter on Streeter, the white Apache. There is very little information available on the life of Streeter, and this book has more than anyone else.
Some lesser known stories about Geronimo. I especially liked the one where his fellow Apaches threatened to shoot him for cowardice.
The ability of the Apaches to live off a desolate landscape was impressive. If allowed to live free, they could have lived in balance with nature in perpetuity.

In perpetuity is a very long time. Other species die out after about a million years, why should H. sapiens be any different?
And "in harmony with nature"...what does that even mean?
