Notches in the Sky | Jason Robert O'Kennedy

"Notches In The Sky | Mike Burns, born Hoomothya, was around eight years old in 1872 when the US military murdered his family and as many as seventy-six other Yavapai men, women, and children in the Skeleton Cave Massacre. One of only a few young survivors, he was adopted by an army captain and ended up serving as a scout in the US army. Born in the shadows of these very peaks, known as Four Peaks today, said his people called them, “Wee-ka-ja-hor”, meaning, “Four notches or cuts, as with an axe.”"
