American native culture"The Apache"

The Apache.


The Zuni of the Adobe peoples referred to them as "Apachue" (enemy), whereas the Apache identify as "Diné" or "The people." Chiricahua, Jicarilla, Kiowa, Lipan, Mescalero, Coyotero, and Navajo are the seven tribes that make up this group.
Gathering, hunting, and pillaging were the mainstays of their way of life, and they all speak dialects of a similar language with Atapascan roots, confirming their northern origins. The bear, the bison, the eagle, the falcon, and the cougar and coyote are all considered sacred animals by them. Despite the desert's scarcity, the Apache managed to live by moving swiftly and stealthily over it.
In the art of combat, they were notable for their ambushes, bows, and They were unafraid to engage in hand-to-hand combat with spears and even knives, and their arrows were occasionally loaded with ponzona of insects and reptiles. In addition to earning them the respect and fear of their neighbors—men as twisted as the Lakota and the Mohavians—their aggressiveness, which occasionally erupted in cruelty, made them one of the biggest threats to the Spanish, and later to Mexicans and Americans, along the desert frontier.
