The circle is the symbol of the Apache Indian tribe because they believed that the life path of all creatures, including humans, are circular. The movement of the sun and the moon is also circular. The homes of the tribes are round and their religious ceremonies like the Hogan and the tipi are also circular.

This question asks for an opinion, and there will be as many opinions on the subject as there are people to give them. All Native Americans were fierce fighters, some tribes were renowned for their abilities to fight under certain conditions.

The Apache tribe did not scalp people, however in wars against the Mexicans, the Mexicans would scalp their Apache prisoners and claim them for cash.

They used knifes,arrows,bows,spears,shields,and guns that they got from raids on the americans.

"Apache" is not one language but a number of related languages. In Kiowa-Apache the word for "white man" is tsayaditl-ti and each of the other Apache languages will have a different term.

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.

There were many different reasons why there was conflict between the settlers and the government. First of all, and probably the most vital reason, was that both

There were no trees so they built them out of dead bushes

The Native Americans died out very soon.

They were also forced in hard labor, as known as slavery.

The Cherokees were the exception to many tribes circular dwellings. They lived in fort-like enclosures. Within those enclosures, extended matrilineal families lived in European-influenced log cabin homes. These homes were generally single story but with wealthy or large families, two stories was not uncommon. When the Europeans first made contact, the Cherokee had a winter lodge (asi) and a summer lodge (wattle and daub).

Cherokees lived in cabins - never in teepees.

Before the sun rose the girls and women got water from a near by stream. The boys and men bathed. The women and girls also made the morning meals and the boys and men herded the horses back into the stables.

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.
