Lozen

 

Born into the Chihenne band during the late 1840s, Lozen was a skilled warrior and a prophet. According to legends, she was able to use her powers (Diya) and (Inda-ce-ho-ndi = "Enemies-Against-Power") in battle to learn the movements of the enemy. Victorio is quoted to have said that "Lozen is my right hand... strong as... a man, braver than most, and cunning in strategy. Lozen is a shield to her people."

OK this my rendering or graphic art of Lozen,,famous Apache women warrior,,I wasn't able to find any paintings of her, except one, so I did this.

  1. I have a small library about the Apache people.I took interest when I was a small child.The only known pic of Lozen was the one of the final surrender in front of the train that was to transport them to a reservation,either Florida or Alabama at the time.She looked beautiful and large(tall).She is sitting next to Dahteste.Top row.I would like Hollywood to make an epic film of her and NOT change what she feats was able to accomplish in real life.She was unbelievable!Who would play her part?Very hard to cast her in light of all the sickenly thin actresses available.Maybe a beautiful robust Apache?
