the Apache tribe. who are the Apache? the Apache are a native American tribe. said tribe came from Alaskan regions, Canada and portions of the

southwestern Americas. over the years the Apache migrated to the united states more south bound and dispersed into two basic tribes.

the Rio grande river was the dividing border for the two basic groups.typically the Apache were nomadic meaning they traveled around often

but never quit settling into one place. the Apache primarily survived on buffalo meat, and usage of the hide as protection. the fact that the Apache were one of the first

tribes to ride and use horses has been said. By 1700 a large portion of the Apache migrated to the Kansas plains. the Apache hadn't been

accustomed to living and farming on the plains. the people made due with what crops they had though. the crops consisted of watermelon,

beans, and corn. eventually their peoples weakness was over taken by the Comanche tribe. the Apache peoples were defeated thus forcing

them to move on to new territory like new Mexico and Arizona. still though even more people of the Apache decided continue southward to

parts of Mexico and Texas. the Apache peoples began battling the Spaniards approximately around the 1730s. these battles were long and bloody, and often times

ended in death. approximately in 1743 a leader of the Spaniards designated areas of Texas to the Apache peoples to live. this action

caused the battles over land to fade. the ceremony of 1749 one of the Apache tribes chiefs buried a hatchet to symbolize the end of the war. thus forth the term "bury

the hatchet". as time developed the Apaches and white men of the area grew a strong lasting bond together and the Apache people felt

protected at first. as time went on several raids occurred including slaughter and theft of goods and livestock. as of 1940 there was a

record of only 35 Apache natives in Oklahoma and in 1970 there was a record of 1500 Apache natives in new Mexico.

this was the Apache if you don't like them don't be like them.
