 Apache
Interestingly, the Apache people actually called themselves the Dine meaning the People, but by other nations they were called the Apache, which is Zuni for “enemy”.  They became fierce fighters; they traveled in small bands and became great hunters of buffalo, deer, lizards, and just about any other plains and desert animals.
This treaty would place the Apaches on an Arizona reservation leaving only small bands of Apache raiders to defend their territory.  The Apache raiders were led by Chief Geronimo, who was considered the last great chief of the Apache nation.  He and his raiders, terrorized the Southwest until they were finally captured in 1886.
The Apache culture is similar to the Navaho Nation due to their shared family line.  The center of their culture is self-importance.  Because of this self-importance, raiding was not only encouraged but was enjoyed.
