#History
Lozen (c. 1840 β June 17, 1889) was a warrior and prophet of the Chihenne Chiricahua Apache. She was the sister of Victorio, a prominent chief. Born into the Chihenne band during the 1840s, Lozen was, according to legends, able to use her powers in battle to learn the movements of the enemy.
@TheNewsOwl Did you know the deadliest most successful pirate in history was a woman. China has a bloody history of conquering the seas around them, not just todayβs Navy and now Coast Guard.
According to James Kaywaykla, Victorio introduced her to Nana, "Lozen is my right hand ... strong as a man, braver than most, and cunning in strategy. Lozen is a shield to her people".
