Clan Pilgrimages have been<br />
made to the Aravaipa area and to<br />
Camp Verde. The next Pilgrimage<br />
is to Apache Pass to honor the Chiricahua<br />
and Descheene clans/group.<br />
Since the Chiricahuas were close to<br />
us in location, they have been included<br />
in the Project. The last Pilgrimage<br />
will be to White River and<br />
that will be in the spring.<br />
It is important to Apaches to<br />
know their clans. From this they<br />
can better understand who they are,<br />
who their relatives are and how to<br />
function in the Apache Society. The<br />
Apache Clan system is based on<br />
your maternal lineage. You are what<br />
your mother and maternal grandmother<br />
are.<br />
The Apache Clan Project is funded<br />
by the Institute of Museum and<br />
Library Services, and gratitude goes<br />
to Tia Early for coordinating the<br />
Project.<br />
