Indeh: A Story of the Apache Wars is a historical fiction graphic novel told from the perspective of Naiches and Goyahkla (Geronimo). Naiches is the son of the Chiricahua Apache chief, Cochise. The story focuses moreso on the emotional costs of the Apache wars than on a clear sequence of events.

Originally intended to be a movie, this graphic novel is full of the most beautiful panels of sequential art. I often felt like I was looking at the work of a portrait artist instead of reading a graphic novel. some parts of this novel would have worked out better on the big screen. There simply isn't page space to show the uniqueness of all the many characters and to make the action clear. As beautiful as this piece was, I was often confused exactly who was doing what, which made it harder to understand exactly what was happening.

I came into this story knowing nothing of the Apache Wars, which is embarrassing. I knew of Geronimo, that he was Apache, but that was about the extent of my knowledge. After reading this graphic novel, I confess that I still don't know much about the Apache wars. The story doesn't make the start of the wars incredibly clear, nor their length. But the story does make the emotional and spiritual cost of the wars absolutely clear. I do want to read further and learn more, but I'll confess it is a little frustrating to read a book only to realize I'm going to have to read another book to know more than what's included in the summary. Unfortunately this was simply too rushed for me to get much from it.
