Indeh: A Story of the Apache Wars
Indeh: A Story of the Apache Wars | Ethan Hawke
7 posts | 9 read | 6 to read
The year is 1872. The place, the Apache nations, a region torn apart by decades of war. The people, like Goyahkla, lose his family and everything he loves. After having a vision, the young Goyahkla approaches the Apache leader Cochise, and the entire Apache nation, to lead an attack against the Mexican village of Azripe. It is this wild display of courage that transforms the young brave Goyakhla into the Native American hero Geronimo. But the war wages on. As they battle their enemies, lose loved ones, and desperately cling on to their land and culture, they would utter, "Indeh," or "the dead." When it looks like lasting peace has been reached, it seems like the war is over. Or is it?INDEH captures the deeply rich narrative of two nations at war-as told through the eyes of Naiches and Geronimo-who then try to find peace and forgiveness. INDEH not only paints a picture of some of the most magnificent characters in the history of our country, but it also reveals the spiritual and emotional cost of the Apache Wars. Based on exhaustive research, INDEH offers a remarkable glimpse into the raw themes of cultural differences, the horrors of war, the search for peace, and, ultimately, retribution. The Apache left an indelible mark on our perceptions about the American West, and INDEH shows us why.

A passion project for Ethan Hawke, this is a beautiful book that I couldn't follow as well as I'd like. The art is exquisite, but I found it difficult to differentiate individuals. A list of characters would have been helpful. Also, a glossary, since, while everything is in English, it seems like they used literal translations of Apache words for some things like military titles. It was just confusing at times, but still good to read true history.

Therewillbebooks I read this a while ago. Mostly liked it, though you're right, a glossary would have been useful. 3y

Heck of a book haul from #ncte17 I normally wouldn't have had ANY since I'm not a fan of transporting stuff, but I couldn't help myself. Can't wait to dig into Indeh. Need to add more books by indigenous creators, and this sounded interesting (didn't know Hawke had a Native American background before NCTE). #teachersoflitsy #bookhaul

OKAY FRIENDOS!!! We are going to Lake Placid aka Canada's armpit for vacation this coming week and are leaving tomorrow! Here's all the comics I have checked out from the library! Having a super tough time deciding if I should bring all of them or only some. Soooooo which one do YOU think I should read first? And second? And third? Give me your top three suggestions from this pile!! ⬇️🎉

queerbookreader Also, can we talk about why are there so many deadpool comics out? Like I get that he's a light character and we all need that definitely but like. In comparison, I'm grasping at straws here for solo female character series. He has two million solo series (same with wolverine??) but I only get one series for Storm? Hellcat? Like, two for She-Hulk and Black Widow? Ummm 7y
RealLifeReading Well definitely all those X-23 ones! I'm a fan of Gail Simone so would read anything she writes! 7y

Eyelit Madame Xanadu, Wonder Woman, Red Sonja 😃 7y
Cortg I'm not a big graphic novel reader but I think you should bring them all! They look like fun! 7y
DoubleBananas Suicide squad, deadpool, Wonder Woman. Have fun! ☺️ 7y
WarpedSweetness Bring them all! Especially Deadpool and X-23! 7y
KathyWheeler If you're going to be gone a whole week, take them all. 7y
MaleficentBookDragon Catwoman, Suicide Squad, then Wonder Woman. 7y
readinginthedark I was going to make the same three suggestions as @MaleficentBookDragon ! Although I haven't read Veil yet, so I'm curious to hear what you think... 7y
readinginthedark And also, I totally agree with you on the Deadpool issue! I'm sorry to say it, but I'm kind of tired of him right now. And there's a Storm series? Is it good? 7y
queerbookreader @readinginthedark I love deadpool so much because he's so different from typical superhero stuff, but seriously. And don't even get me started on how many billion spider-man comics there are. ? Storm had a two volume series! I think it was part of "MarvelNOW!" let me find it 7y
queerbookreader @readinginthedark It's soooooo good and I'm so sad it went only two trades. I see that happening a lot with female characters ? "oh look we made a ton of solo series for women characters but we don't feel like continuing them so we're gonna cancel them after three trades and never even give them a chance to develop" 7y
readinginthedark Yeah, like Mockingbird. I was so sad that one ended so soon. And thanks! 7y

I picked this up because Greg Ruth did the art but was immediately concerned about the writing (yes, it's written by THAT Ethan Hawke). I shouldn't have been. With the exception of a few difficulties tracking who's who, the book is beautifully done. It's poignant, powerful, and most importantly, gives voice to a marginalized people group. I loved it.

Good concept but they needed to add much more information about the Apache wars. Written for kids but they need to realize that kids will read in comic form so put more info in! Heck I wanted to learn more ,if I really want to continue then I will need to read the books they suggest.

My Dad loaned this to me "I want it back" he says. This is his first graphic novel and he was very impressed.
