| QUOTE |
| The word Apache is believed to be derived from a Zuni word meaning "enemy". The Apache Indians are divided into six sub-tribes Bedonkohe....Be-don-ko-he Chieahen....Chi-e-a-hen Chihenne....Chi-hen-ne,(Ojo Caliente),(Hot Springs)Apaches Chokonen....Cho-kon-en, Chiricahua Apache Nedni....Nendi White Mountain Apache The Apache people (including the Navajo) came from the Far North to settle the Plains and Southwest around A.D. 850. They settled in three desert regions, the Great Basin, the Sonoran, and the Chihuachuan. The Navajo are not part of the Apache nation. They are their own honored nation. They only share the Athabscan language with the Apache. The Apache speak the Athabscan language, which originated in their former homeland of northwestern Canada. |
The most interesting thing about this tribe is that they did not call themselves Apache. When referring to themselves, they call themselves Inde, or Nide which means "The People". Apache means enemy and must have been given to them by, who else, their enemies.
