‘Tis the season for turkeys…I’ve read that Apache women on the reservation could run so fast they could chase down a wild turkey. Then, they’d tuck the still gobbling bird under their arm and take it to the post to sell it to the soldiers. At first, the soldiers were reluctant to buy it because they thought it might be stolen. But no, the women really were that fast. They wouldn’t eat turkeys or fish themselves because of a taboo of eating anything that ate snakes or worms.
The Apache women were hard workers. After their arrival on the reservation, they quickly learned that soldiers would pay for firewood and grass that they gathered on the prairie. They spent the money they earned at the trading post. Geronimo said that every time they came back from the trading post, they were a little less Apache, but he understood their attraction to pretty things they’d never seen before.
