The Apache Sunrise Dance is an ancient coming of age ceremony for a young woman. Documentary written and produced by (my father) Jay Cravath and Rick Ench. 1996. The filmmakers were invited by the family of the daughter to join and document the ceremony.

I’m half Mescalero my mother was born near the Rio Grande and she is From Mescalero , my Father is Irish I struggled many years off the sacred path and today I cannot count all the tears that have flooded my days of despair asking Yusin our creator for one more day sober and clean , and these songs are very therapeutic for my spirit mind and body

I'm Full Navajo but I've taken in the Zuni Pueblo culture from my step dad, but I also have my Apache and Navajo side from my grandma and my mom, in which I respect and attend the dances and embrace the blessings.

I am Nat'aahendé Band of Mescalero Apache and Avripia Apache, House of Agregaard of Dains, House of Christovic of Croatian, Clan Macpherson, Clan Macleod and, Clan Macleod of Scotish, Marseille Tribe of Gauls. Many struggles myself. It's 2 days after the final day of the annual Sunrise Ceremony at Mescalero, I pray with our people from Utah, went to Sweat Lodge last night and I am grateful to Ussen and the Gah'é for their guidance and healing. I work to help the Children of Ninaayéñskąn'n remember who they are, I carry the memory of the Old Way of my Mother's People who came from Europe. Each us has a purpose, one is stronger when one finds that path. "It ok for a man to think about what he'd like to do until it's time for him to do what he's meant to do. " - From "Field Of Dreams" My prayers for you on this beautiful morning as I sing my morning songs. 🙏🏽🪶

Edgar Perry--you and the singers bringing the beauty into this world so that others can see the Apache people,,,what a great piece of art this video is,,,once the music and language of the Apache is gone,,history will never pass this away again,,that is why its important to preserve these songs through the teachings so the songs will continue forever,,thank you Apaches.

This was good to see and to share too others of what I had experienced "The Sun Rise Dance" back in 2006. I was adopted out when I was a baby by a White family, my adopted mother shared story's about my biological family. So when I grew up, I took my husband with me ( who is white) and helped me find my family in 2004. I have went back to see them every year since then. My biological family lives in Cibecue,Ar. My Sister is Seriah Chissay and my brother is Belfew Chissay, who lives in Whiteriver, Ar.

Once you film a ceremony you take the spirit out of it. That's what I've been taught. Once that happens it becomes and show and not a prayer. Too many people now a days need many many people to witness them say prayers or do ceremonies but in reality your prayer and ceremony is only between you and Creator. The old way of teachings is disappearing but there still is people out there who practise those old teachings.
