Apaches for Cultural Preservation was founded by Wendsler Nosie Sr. and Ernest Victor Jr. because of the need to educate Apaches from various Apache reservations. History books today, do not cover the impact or aftermath of the Great Apache Wars and their effect on today's life on the reservation. Currently, there are many Apaches who still experience post war syndrome including denial. The denial that such a tragic event took place, and the realization that they have been stripped of their Cultural and Traditional ways.
Apaches for Cultural Preservation is working with the young native people, teaching them to preserve what is left, such as Traditional ceremonies, songs, language, foods, spirituality, and Sacred sites. Nosie and Victor have strongly encouraged all ethnic groups to participate and learn their own spiritual gift that Usen(God) had blessed them with in the beginning of creation.
All members of ACP have worked hard through out the year with inviting, sharing, and educating all people through out the world. ACP has constructed a monument in Old San Carlos which honors all those fallen Apaches who stood for who they were and lost their lives.
Currently, the struggle to save Mt. Graham,Dzil Nchaa Sian, from desecration is a major focus. A need for all people such as yourself to do what you can to save this Holy Mountain in North America.
