LOZEN, APACHE WARRIORESS
SAINT OF ANTINOUS
SAINT OF ANTINOUS
WE honor Lozen, the two-spirit Apache warrioress and holy woman who fought with Geronimo, and who was with his final band of warriors when they surrendered.
She is a blessed Saint of Antinous.
A contemporary observer said:
"Lozen had no concern for her appearance and, even though she is seen in several famous photos of Geronimo with his warriors, there is nothing to indicate that she is a woman. You would never spot her. She was very manly in her appearance, dressed like a man, lived and fought like a man. She never married, and devoted her life to the service of her people, to the very end."
