Why do northern Californias hate Apache Indians?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is incorrect and unfair to generalize the sentiment of hatred towards any group of people. It is important to recognize that opinions and feelings towards any specific group can vary greatly among individuals within a community. It is essential to promote understanding, empathy, and respect for all cultures and communities.

What role did great Britain play in the conflict between the US and American Indians on the westren frontier?

User Avatar

Asked by Nanibi

Great Britain played an important role in the conflict between the United States and American Indians on the western frontier. They had a strong presence in the region and sought to maintain their power and influence in North America. In the late 1700s Great Britain signed several treaties with some of the Native American tribes such as the Iroquois and Delaware Nations in which they promised to protect these communities from US expansion. As the US continued to establish new settlements often in violation of these treaties Great Britain sought to mediate the conflict and protect their Native allies. In some cases British soldiers were dispatched to the western frontier to protect Native American lands and support their sovereignty.

Great Britain also provided support to the Native Americans in other ways. They supplied weapons ammunition and other supplies to the tribes and provided them with access to the British trading networks. In addition the British Crown offered refuge to some of the Native American leaders such as the Shawnee chief Tecumseh and provided a safe haven for them to organize and plan their resistance to US expansion.

What tribes were allies with the Apache tribe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Apache have never been a single tribe, but a large number of related tribes speaking related but different languages. The names of the Apache tribes is a complex subject because each tribe has been called many different names by Americans, Mexicans and by themselves; each tribe was made up of several bands, each with various names.

Among the Apache tribes are:

  • Jicarilla
  • Chiricahua
  • Mescalero
  • White Mountain
  • Cibecue
  • Tonto
  • Lipan
  • Kiowa-Apache

This last tribe formed an alliance at a very early date with the unrelated Kiowa tribe (hence their name). Although speaking entirely different languages the two tribes lived, camped and hunted together as if they were one people, although the Kiowa-Apache always had a specific section of the camp circle for their tipis.

Was the apache tribe located in Arizona or New Mexico?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Apache tribe are located in Arizona, New Mexico AND Oklahoma and Texas. The most of the ones ( except the Plains Apache) in Oklahoma were forced to move there by the US government and army. The Apache reservations are in Arizona and New Mexico. Some Apache have moved to large metropolitan areas. Some Apacheans were employed in migrant farm labor and relocated to the central agricultural regions of Southern California.

The federally recognized tribes are: Apache Tribe of Oklahoma, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Arizona, Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma, Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico, Mescalero Apache Tribe of the Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico, San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona, Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona, White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona, Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona. The Chiricahua were divided into two groups after they were released from being prisoners of war. Most are at the Mescalero Reservation. The Lipan Apache are also there. The other Chiricahua are enrolled in the Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma. The Plains Apache are located in Oklahoma, headquartered around Anadarko, and are federally recognized as the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma.

The Navajo are not considered Apache but because they have related languages they are as a group called Apachean, During first contact they lived in eastern Arizona, northern Mexico, New Mexico, west and southwest Texas, and southern Colorado and Kansas

The Apachean groups did not have much political or cultural unity. They spoke seven related languages. They had distinct and competitive with each other. cultures. Within each group of the Apache they lived in many independent bands. For example the Western Apache lived in at least 20 distinct bands. The Mescalero about 10 each with there own territory and traditions.
