Description
  • Title: A Pair of Vintage Skookum Dolls
  • Description: Apache
    Mid 20th century
    12 in H

    Two Skookum dolls depicting Cochise and wife Dos-teh-seh (Dos-tes-ey, Doh-teh-seh – "Something-at-the-campfire-already-cooked", b. 1838), the daughter of Mangas Coloradas, the leader of the Warm Springs and Mimbreño local groups of the Chihenne band, and child Taza (1842–1876)

    Made by a skilled artist the resemblance is uncanny. Notice the drooped left side of the mouth. Made from Clay, pigment, trade cloth, trade beads and wood. Early to Mid .20th century.

    Cochise, Apache: Shi-ka-She or A-da-tli-chi – "having the quality or strength of an oak"; after the whites called him "Cochise", the Apache adopted it as K'uu-ch'ish or Cheis "oak"; circa 1805 – June 8, 1874) was leader of the Chihuicahui local group of the Chokonen ("central" or "real" Chiricahua) and principal chief (or nantan) of the Chokonen band of the Chiricahua Apache. A key war leader during the Apache Wars, he led an uprising that began in 1861 and persisted until a peace treaty was negotiated in 1872. Cochise County, Arizona, is named after him. His wife was murdered and he was chased out of his native land into the desert and was one of if not the last American Indian chiefs to stand against the US government. He was later found and promised a home on a reservation but was shot and killed in transit.
