Western Apaches have long regarded the corner of Arizona
encompassing Aravaipa Canyon as their sacred homeland. This book
examines the evolving relationship between this people and this
place, illustrating the enduring power of Aravaipa to shape and
sustain contemporary Apache society. Big Sycamore Stands Alone: The
Western Apaches, Aravaipa, and the Struggle for Place articulates
Aravaipa's cultural legacy as seen through the eyes of some of its
descendants, bringing Apache voices, knowledge, and perspectives to
the fore. Focusing on the Camp Grant Massacre as its narrative
centerpiece, Ian Record employs a unique approach that reflects how
the Apaches conceptualize their history and identity, interweaving
four distinct narrative threads: contemporary oral histories of
individuals from the San Carlos reservation, historic documentation
of Apache relationships to Aravaipa following the reservation's
establishment, descriptions of pre-reservation subsistence
practices, and a history of early Apache struggles to maintain
their connection with Aravaipa in the face of hostility from
outsiders. In addition, Record has mined the research notes of
Grenville Goodwin to document important elements of Apache
economic, political, and social organization in pre-reservation
times. A landmark ethnohistory, Big Sycamore Stands Alone documents
a story that goes far beyond Cochise, Geronimo, and the
Chiricahuas. Record's work is a trailblazing synthesis of
historical and anthropological materials that lends new insight
into the relationship between people and place.
