Cochise Sweat Reflection With Coyuntura
Today I narrated a meeting that Cochise and his brother Coyuntura had in a Sweat to reflect on Chokonen's relations with Mexico , especially Sonora. In it details of Sweat Ceremony are expressed revolving around 4 elements of earth, air, fire and water. Cochise inside the Sweat seeks insight/guidance from the Spirit World, the Grandfathers, about how to handle Mexicans and Americans. The successful Raid to avenge the death of Mangas sons has consequences which can jeopardize Apache - Mexican trade relations which are vital to his people's well being. He struggles over how to reconcile with state of Sonora which boarders his lands and decides to return to Fronteras only to fall into a trap which brings about serious losses but will catapult him to undisputed leader of his Band.
