ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
The well-guarded cosmology of the Apaches comes to light through the wisdom of these traditional teaching tales.
• Told by the granddaughter of the Apache elder Ten Bears.
• Includes 13 stories of the Tlish Diyan (Apache Snake Clan).
• Provides contemporary insights into these legends to make them relevant to the modern reader.
In a small canyon in the White Mountains of Arizona a young girl sits and listens to her grandfather's stories. They tell of a people known as the Tlish Diyan, or Snake Clan, and how they came to be. She learns the story of her parents and grandparents, uncles and aunts, and an entire lineage that weaves between four leggeds, two leggeds, spirits, ancestors, ritual, adventure, and the creation of the world by Changing Mother and the Giver of All Life. In this way she comes to know and find her place in All Our Relations. This child is Maria Yracébûrû, granddaughter of Apache holy man Ten Bears and the hereditary recipient of his philosophy, legends, prophecy, and knowledge.
In the traditional storytelling ways of her ancestors, Maria Yracébûrû respectfully weaves her contemporary experience into the tapestry of tales passed down from generations. The legends of the Tlish Diyan she presents in Legends and Prophecies of the Quero Apache relay how sacred universal laws govern our relationship to the natural world, our interaction with nature, and our respect for each other.

USER REVIEWS
"The White Mountain Apache nation says Maria Naylin (her real name) is a fraud. Yraceburu is not even an Apache name, it's Yaqui. The White Mountain nations say that nothing she claims is anything close to Apache tradition, and they have no record of her enrolled and no one had ever heard of her until they received many complaints about her. The tribal offices also tried to get her to quit using the White Mountain tribal seal without their permission.
Her main concern is to make money over in California, far away from the people she falsely claims are her own. She also has her partner, a Gypsy woman, falsely claiming to be an Apache healer.
One of the people Naylin says trained her, "Rolling Thunder", was a white man claiming to be "Chickamauga Cherokee" who sold ceremonies in Europe and set up a commune for white hippies in a Nevada brothel. She claims training by another fraud, Twyla Nitsch, who is a woman with a small amount of Seneca blood kicked off the reservation for being a ceremony seller. Naylin also claims to have been trained in Kahuna. Kahuna is a white exploiter's false version of Hawaiian traditions.
She falsely claims to be "Quero Apache," a tribe that does not exist. The Quero are a tribe in South America with many false claims made by them by New Age charlatans, no relation to the Apache.
Think of this book as pure fantasy, not anything to do with actual Apache tradition. "

"A classmate of mine at the University of Arizona is Apache, raised on the reservation. She has never heard of the Quero Apache, Tlish Diyan, Snake Clan, or anything else that this woman claims is true. She says that the snake is taboo, and the healing arts of the Apache are very sacred and secret, and they would never be shared with outsiders.
I can't find any reference to the Quero Apache on the Internet that does not originate from this book. I think many people would believe anything if it seems to stem from "Native American wisdom" without actually doing any research. Shame on this author for making money by lying about Native American culture."

"An elder of our people, the Apache, once said that Maria's words were like "arrows that were shot into our hearts to awaken our souls." Truely the memory and spirit of the Sierra Madre (Quero) Apache lives on in this book!"

"Maria is an amazing woman and an amazing author. I have had the pleasure of attending many of her workshops and ceremonies and she has helped me embrace living my life with joy. Where before I felt disconnected with my body, now I live in it gladly!
When I read this book, it reminds me about having passion and vision for life. It is so refreshing to read something that comes from the heart of someone so warm and loving as Maria. When you read this book, you cannot help but get past your own limitations.
Thank you, Maria!"

"If you surf the internet, you will find no mention of this tribe, beyond what this author and her sister write. "
