Nature shows God, but some men do not see any divine agency, because God is not in them. They have schooled themselves not to see, and so they will remain, forever, in the dark.

...this as the only means of getting back their country from the Whites. When they saw the hopelessness of their task, they were won over by the specious promises of the white men to care for and feed them. Now they are becoming more civilized and like to see their children enjoying the advantages of that education which is denied themselves on account of their age. The Apaches are more cruel and relentless towards those who fall into their power, more skillful in fashioning and carrying out their plots, and more expert in covering their tracks than the majority...
