Entitled: "At the ford" photographed by Edward S. Curtis, July 20, 1903. Three Apaches, one with a child, with horses laden with water jugs, a colt, and a dog stopped beside a stream. Apache is the collective term for several culturally-related groups of Native Americans in the United States originally from the Southwest United States. These indigenous peoples of North America speak a Southern Athabaskan (Apachean) language, which is related linguistically to the languages of Athabaskan speakers of Alaska and western Canada. The Apaches' nomadic way of life complicates accurate dating, primarily because they constructed less substantial dwellings than other Southwestern groups. They fought the Spanish and Mexican peoples for centuries. The first Apache raids on Sonora appear to have taken place during the late 17th century. In 19th century confrontations, the Army found the Apache to be fierce warriors and skillful strategists.
