Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
Hmmm... don't know of any way to 'witch' you w/ a stack of ice... maybe someone is just giving you 'the cold shoulder'

Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
I guess I should point out the things that really get the attention of traditionalists are owl feathers or claws. They are symbols of witchcraft. Yes, there are still Indians practicing witchcraft (mostly in Navajo country). Whether you believe in it or not those are really weird people and it's not...

Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
Somehiker: Nice pictures. Thanks for your kind words. I won't mislead you on purpose... what could I possibly gain by that anyway? I do reserve the right to simply refuse to answer questions about things that would offend others beliefs but will simply say so instead of giving bad information. As I ...

Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
What if it was someone wanting to place a fake ceremonial type of artifact on the trail to make it look Apache as a warning to someone like Wayne, who has some knowledge of such things, away from the top of that bluff? If that is what happened, what should be done with the artifact? Thanks for your...

Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
Injunbro: Speaking of feathers. Could I assume that an agave stalk laid across an opening in the rocks,through which I would have to pass in order to reach the top of a bluff,to be something left behind by an Apache ? It had 4 feathers....looked like quail to me...tied to the center with a clump of ...

Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
Injunbro, I don't believe there is any one place of emergence for the Apache people, as a whole. What seems to be the norm, is that each band or group has there own story. Since we are talking about the Superstition Mountains here, the only historically known Apache to live in the mountains, as a tr...

Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
Injunbro: Am I correct in the assumption that to have done so would have been "bad medicine" ? What were their beliefs (Yavapai/Apache) in the origins of these ruins,and the people who left them behind ? Regards:SH. "Bad Medicine" or bad luck would be a good way to put it. I'm n...

Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
I believe the Black ladies name was Celeste Marie Jones & her people were pretty much @ war W/ Ed Piper & traded shots occaisionally. If my memory serves Piper had to shoot one of them in defense. It was said she blasted part of the top off Weavers Needle while trying to recover Jesuit treas...

Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
Injunbro, IMHO, it's a mistake tying Eva Tulene Watt to the people you are talking about. A Google search of Eva's name will produce more than enough material on the woman to tell you your friend made a mistake. Take care, Joe Joe, you are correct, I named the wrong book, thanks for pointing it out...

Re: Native American history within the Superstitions discuss
I can't help but wonder if they got the name from one of the five branches of the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico and Arizona. One of those tribes was named the Queres, who were located at San Felipe on the Rio Grande, and, Santa Ana and Zia on the Jemez River. The Queres were also part of Cochití and ...
