For the Mescalero Apache Tribe, girls are not recognized as women until they have undergone the Sunrise Ceremony- an ancient, coming-of-age ceremony that lasts for four days. Last May, VICE got rare access to the ceremony for Julene Geronimo - the great, great grand-daughter of the renowned Apache leader, Geronimo. We followed Julene through each day of her arduous rite-of-passage to better understand what womanhood means for the Apache tribe, and how these ceremonies play a significant role in preserving a way of life that almost became extinct. • Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-BROADLY • Come find us: • Broadly | https://broadly.vice.com • Facebook | / broadlytv • Twitter | / broadly • Tumblr | / broadlytv • Instagram | / broadly • Pinterest | / broadlytv • Newsletter | http://bit.ly/1JKF1oA • More videos from the VICE network | https://www.fb.com/vicevideo
