Synopsis
With the arrivalof Europeansin the New World came packs of paper playing cards. In northern New Spain, on the frontier that would become the "Southern Four Corners" of Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora, and Chihuahua, Spaniards introduced cards to the Indians they met. Chiricahua and Western Apaches quickly adopted playing cards into their cultures and made them their own, inventing new games and new tales of how they learned of cards from the culture hero Naiyenezgani (Slayer of Monsters). For about a century, beginning in the 1830s, Apache artists made their own cards, painted on horsehide, and in their hands the designs seen on Spanish and Mexican cards were combined with traditional Apache motifs to create a unique folk-art genre of playing cards.
