What is the most powerful Indian tribe?

Answer 1

That depends on how you define "power" in its myriad of definitions.

• For Money, the Mashatunket Pequot tribe (income average at 1.2 Billion dollars per year),
• People, the Cherokee with around 300,000 registered members,
• Land (reservation land), the Navajo with 27,000 square miles of land,

Of course if you include things like international law, the any and all Native Americans become very powerful; since the United States has openly and admittedly violated the treaties with all Native American's, the rights and titles to the land taken under those treaties actually belong to them (and not the US Government, or who they sold the land to).

Answer 2

the apaches were the most fiered tribes in all of america, and were never conqoured by the american soldiers and the last to be put on a reservation. unlike the comanches who lost because of their lose of their horses, the apaches were well adept to fighting on both, able to blend into their surroundings, outrun anyone, and out menouver a soldier's horse on foot! so yes as history will tell you the apaches are and always will be the most powerful tribe in all of america!
