When Francisco Vázquez de Coronado encountered the Apache people during his expedition in the 1540s, he referred to them as "the people of the deer" due to their hunting practices and lifestyle. The term reflects the indigenous naming conventions and the significance of deer in their culture. Coronado's interactions with the Apache were part of his broader exploration of the southwestern United States.
