The Name Game
The tribe this steed is based on were located in the vast homeland that stretched west to east from Arizona to Texas and north to Colorado. Apaches share language roots and culture with the Navajos. The best known Apache was Geronimo.

The basis of Apache culture is the family unit. Extended families were only loosely aligned with each other, and unified, centralized politics was unknown. Apache families were matrilineal. Upon marrying, a man went to live with his wife’s extended family. Grandmothers possessed a powerful status, but there was a custom forbidding a wife’s mother from speaking to her daughter’s husband. Apaches developed a friendly trade relationship with the Pueblos, but fought with the Comanche when that tribe encroached on Apache lands. They also fought wars against the United States. Apaches built wickiups, frame structures covered with matted bark or brush, similar to wigwams.
