Apache For Life

By T.M. Spencer

Taima Mairs enlisted into a federal government program with a mission to assist with the social issues on the White Mountain Apache Reservation in Arizona, but who was going to assist this 33-year-old African-American woman with her own issues? Taima truly believed that putting a few zip codes between her and the source of her painful abandonment was the answer to finishing her degree and moving on with her life. However, along with her designer suitcases, Taima traveled west carrying the emotional baggage of losing her husband to her church minister and the instability of growing up in a home with alcoholic parents. It didn't take long for Taima to discover that a carry-on bag of neurosis accompanied her on this road trip to the reservation and, for this Washington, D.C. native, Ft. Apache wasn't just a culture clash--it was a culture concussion! But before long, Taima learns that her problems are more spiritual than logistical, and that the Apache spirit and familial bonds exist in a world not open to everyone.
