Edwin Machuse Jr. is a member of the White Mountain Apache Tribe from the community of Cibecue (Dishchibikoh), also known as Red Valley. A proud brother, uncle, and son, Edwin has a deep love for his culture and language, which he speaks fluently at home, in his community, and at work.

Edwin hopes this guide will be helpful to Apache-speaking families and encourages others to continue learning and speaking their language, reminding them that it's never too late to learn.
