Description

"Luge, A troublesome White Mountain Chief, now in prison for murder". Studio portrait of Luge seated on a log and holding a long knife. Title in white in negative.

When Europeans began to visit the White Mountain area, the Apache people lived in family groups and bands, with homes and farms along all of the major watercourses: the East Fork and North Fork of the White River, on Cedar Creek, Carrizo Creek, Cibecue Creek, Oak Creek, and others. They farmed, growing corn, sunflowers, beans, squash, and other foods. They hunted deer and other game and collected abundant wild plant foods. They traveled widely, trading and raiding throughout the region and deep into Mexico. When the United States took control of New Mexico during the Mexican-American War, some of their leaders went to Santa Fe to meet with those authorities.
