Best Answer

Nantan in Apache means Chief or Spokesman (tribal representative). The apachean people had 7 different languages and distinct cultures where the only references commonly found refer to Cochise, Mangas Coloradas, Geronimo, Lupan amongst others as Nantans. All these chiefs were Chiricahua Apaches so its most likely a Chiricahua Apachean word, but not necessarily exclusive to this tribe.

Does the Apache tribe use the word dine for the people also?

The Apache and Navajo both belong to the Southern Athabaskan Language Family. This does not mean this was one language, but more like a root language like Latin is for French, Spanish, Italian, Etc.They don't both use the exact word Diné. This is a Navajo word. There are six different Apache languages. In western Apache it is Ndee. The Mescalero Apache call themselves: Inday. The Lipan Apache say: Ndé.The Southern Athabaskan Languages or "Apachean" is spoken by Jicarillo Apache, Mescalero Apache, Navajo, Lipan Apache, Chiricahua Apache, and by some Kiowa, and others.All these words indeed mean "The People."
