History Of The Apache Indians

96 Words1 Page

The Apache Indians originally came from the Alaskan region, and part of the American Southwest. Over time the tribes travelled to the United States and currently reside in Oklahoma and Texas and on reservations in Arizona and New Mexico. The Apaches were known as Nomads because they travelled around, and never settled on reservations for a long period of time. Since the nomads never settled anywhere for long, they were not accustomed to the different types of agriculture on the land which caused other tribes to overtake the land and cause the nomads to travel elsewhere.

The Iroquois nation ultimately developed into a well-organized cooperative of five different tribes and inhabited the northern mountains from approximately 1300 BC. Eventually large populations of the Iroquois moved south and evolved into what would become the Cherokee nation of the southern Appalachians. By the mid 1500’s, there was random contact with Europeans mostly involving the fur trade.
