This book project examines the roles that Dilzhe’e Apaches and Yavapais, who served as US Army Indian Scouts, played in their communities. It focuses particular attention on how these men, as experienced border-crossers and cultural intermediaries, leveraged the experience and knowledge gained as scouts in order to serve their communities after the so-called Indian Wars had concluded, from the 1890s to the 1930s. It is the first book-length project on Indian Scouts after the Indian Wars, and the first by an Indigenous historian.
