lemming Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Re: Need a translation This might be of interest if you can track down the article: War path language? Opler, Morris Edward and Harry Hoijer. The Raid and War-Path Language of the Chiricahua Apache. American Anthropologist October-December, 1940 Vol. 42(4):617-634. This article looks at background of the Chiricahua Apache Warrior. The authors take all of the diminutive rituals that construct the development of young boys to men and relate it to the relevance that these men have in their society. "The behavior patterns, food restrictions, and ceremonial objects" are all examined for significance in training a young boy to become a warrior. The authors record the events of a young boys life and describe the rituals and experiences he goes through. "The analytical and linguistic aspects of this language" are also summarized in the article. The war-path language it taught to the young boys and is learned, as he becomes a man in his society. The Chiricahua Apache warriors distinguish themselves from the common language by the war-path language. Its significance is examined throughout the article by looking at the boys life experiences. A list of war-path term is also given at the end of the article. The author’s try to represent the war-path language’s cultural implications and how the society trains these warriors.

Supreme Serpent Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Re: Need a translation Depending on the source, "Apache" itself was actually a name other tribes gave them, and means "the enemy" or "fighting men". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corven_Ren Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Re: Need a translation Thanks for all the help so far guys, the reason I asked is I want the term as a name for a character I have created. I don't really want to just call him Apache (to many bad memories of the old super friends character Apache Chief) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Re: Need a translation Keep postin' those links. This info is quite useful for our campaign since we have two Apache characters on our team, including one named Thunderbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
