Description Supposing Books I Am Apache
A young woman seeks to avenge her brother's death by becoming an Apache warrior — and learns a startling truth about her own identity.After watching helplessly as Mexican raiders brutally murder her little brother, fourteen-year-old Siki is filled with a desire for vengeance and chooses to turn away from a woman's path to become a warrior of her Apache tribe. Though some men, like envious Keste, wish to see Siki fail, she passes test after test, and her skills grow under the guidance of her tribe's greatest warrior, Golahka. But Keste begins to whisper about Siki's father's dishonorable death, and even as Siki earns her place among the warriors, she senses a dark secret in her past — one that will throw into doubt everything she knows. Taking readers on a sweeping and suspenseful journey through the nineteenth-century American Southwest, Tanya Landman draws on historical accounts to imagine the Black Mountain Apache as a tribe in a fight for survival against the devastating progress of nations.

I love this story. I am so happy that I have it on my shelf and that I can read it over and over again. The story makes you fall in love with Siki. By the time the end comes, you're ready to turn back with her, declaring, "I am Apache!" It's sad, since it's about the end of her culture, but it is amazing. Do not--NOT--pass this book up.Different. Historical. Intriguing characters. Loved the writing too.
Captivating

very good book. slow at the beginning but then it just got sadder and sadder at the ending. is there other books that go with this book
This book is about a young girl who wants to avenge his brother's death by becoming an Apache warrior and killing the Mexican who killed her brother.I liked the faith that Siki had to become a warrior even though she was a woman. I also liked the way Siki did not become an American with her father but instead she stayed loyal to the Apache tribe. I learned that you should always follow your dream to be whatever you want to be no matter what gender or race.This book is exciting, scary, and happy.
Didn't think I would like this so much, but it pulled me in, and I liked that the author consulted with a historian from an Apache tribe to get her historical facts right. Strong girl protagonist and a fast-moving tale.
Exciting adventure story of vengeance and revenge, pride, honor and courage among the Apache after women and children are attacked by Mexicans, set toward the end of the 1800s. Written by a Brit, includes a bibliography but does not claim to be historically accurate.Although shortlisted for the 2008 UK's Carnegie Medal, Native American book bloggers have written scathing reviews, calling it atrocious, problematic, sloppily researched, Euro-feminist, and outrageous, suggesting Joseph Bruchac's
