They believed in many spirit beings. Usen, the Giver of Life, the most powerful of them all. The Gans, or Mountain Spirits, were especially important in Apache ceremonies. Males dressed themselves in elaborate costumes to impersonate the Gans in ritual dance, wearing kilts, black masks, tall wooden-slat head-dresses, and body paint, carrying wooden swords.

Yes the Apache invented the wickiup that was perfect for their land. Branches woven together into a round fandand then covered with desert bushes and leaves. The wickiup could be built quickly with materials readly at hand, and then quickly abandoned, making the Apache highly mobile.

Geronimo was a Native American Tribe leader, and the US army tried to move his tribe to a reservation but Geronimo and his tribe went to Mexico. In Mexico, reporters exaggerated his activities and blamed him for alot of stuff. He tried to fight the US and refused however they forced his to go to the reservation. Once there the US gave them some tools to farm and have a life. They gave his a extremly small plow and after a few days he left because of the awful conditions. He got into trouble and was forced to NY to die, however the US army gave his a choice to die or surrender, he surrendered and went to NY with his family, jailed.

Most Apache Indian villages were located in the southwestern portion of the United States. They lived in Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico. There were also Apache Indians who had their village in Mexico.

The Navajo Nation is 27,000 square miles (the size of Holland and Belgium combined) and ranges from 4,500 feet and 8,000 feet in elevation with even higher mountains, so there is a great deal of variation in climate. All of the areas have snow in the winter and monsoon summer rains and thunderstorms.

There are four main regions regions: the flat valleys at elevations from 4,500 to 6,000 feet, the upland plains at 5,500 - 7,000 feet; the mesas are 6,000 - 8,000 feet; and the mountains are from 7,500 to over 10,000 feet. Each of these regions is cut by canyons ranging from a few hundred to 2,000 feet in depth.

There are three climates zones: the cold humid climate of the mountains and mesa tops, 8%; the steppe climate of the mesas and the high plains, 37%; and the comparatively warm desert, 55%.

Temperatures in the cold humid zone average a low of 4 degrees and a high of 80. The annual precipitation is 16 - 27 inches, and the growing season is only 95 days.

The steppe zone has average low of 10 degrees and a high of 88. Annual precipitation is from 12-16 inches, the growing season is 147 days.

Finally, in the desert area temperatures are a low of 11 degrees and a high of 110. Annual precipitation is between 7 and 11 inches, and the growing season is 173 days.

It is either Europe Aisa or Spain.

Edit:

Decades ago, it was believed and taught in schools that the aboriginal tribes came over the frozen Bering Strait between Russia and the United States. Later in the twentieth century, some scientists believed there was a coastal sea route from South America through North America which lead to the belief the Indians might be decendants of southern peoples. Still others have surmised that Indian tribes came over from Mongolia and Africa. Late in the twentieth century, pottery shards were found in the southwest United States that have been carbon dated to be 25,000 years old. Since the Ice age is about 18,000 year old only, it negates the Bering Strait theory.

In truth, no one really knows from where they emigrated or IF they emigrated. Most tribes have stories where their Peoples have been on this continent since memory. Meaning they have always been here.

The Comanche were historically nomadic buffalo hunters and they grew no crops of any kind. They occasionally traded with other tribes for maize (Indian corn) and other foodstuffs.

Kinship terms in all Algonquian languages are extremely complex and many have different terms for use by a male or a female speaker. The Mi'kmaq term for "my grandmother" is nkijinen

Because they thought it was unholy for their tribe to hunt or eat

native Americans could not have been the first to set foot here because they could not have came here as native American i.e. someone born here, as they immigrated from somewhere

most probably they came by riendeer sled from lapland in far nothern Finland and settled in northern minnesots northern wisconson and the upper peninsula of Michigan many of their offspring still reside in these areas

The Kiowa and their close allies the Kiowa-Apaches were typical southern Plains people. Food was served in large decorated spoons of buffalo horn which also served as dishes, but some food was simply eaten with the fingers. For cutting up a large chunk of meat, the piece would be gripped in the teeth and held outwards with one hand while a knife was held in the other to cut off a smaller piece.

Anthropological evidence suggests that the ancestors of the Apache peoples lived in the area of Alaska, Canada, and/or the Pacific Northwest before migrating to the Southwest sometime between AD 1200 and 1500 and became the separate group now identified as the Apache tribe. The Apaches' nomadic way of life complicates accurate dating, because they constructed less substantial dwellings than other Southwestern groups.
