Heroism And Bravery: The Apache Tribe
The Apache tribe had to live a life of heroism and bravery, as they fought and hunted many millennia ago. As they figured out the geography and resources near them, they made a way to have a thriving existants. The Apache got used to the heat and wore animal skins to protect themselves from the sun. This also let them sneak up on their prey. With all the grass and bison roaming around, the Apache flourished by having all these natural resources. As they learned to hunt animals, they learned to ride horses, and to be skilled marksmans. The “wikiups” allowed them to move around the Great Plains to hunt and gather more resources. The Apache took advantage of all of the bison, using the bones to sharpen tools or to make weapons, the hide as clothing

    - The Apache people were greatly affected by their environment. Since the Apache people lived in deserts it made it impossible for them to farm the land and grow many plants to the lack of water. Therefore, the Apache people started to hunt in animals that would usually be considered very “wild” in Europe because of all their produce. For hunting and the temperature all Apache people had to wear lightweight and very light colored clothes due to the overpowering heat that was surrounding them. I wouldn’t say the environment dominated the tribe…

    The apache tribe had to act the way they did because they were in an “eat or be eaten” situation. The government would raid entire villages murdering men, women, and children. So the apache acted out of revenge to avenge the family members who were all murdered. Even though the apache tribe would try to run away, the O’odham tribe, Mexican Americans, settlers, or United States government would find them and attack them before they could settle down and grow crops. As a result, this led to the apache tribe forced to raid other villages and camps for food and supplies that they aren’t able to get for themselves.…

    The Apache didn’t go down without a fight. One of the most famous and fearsome warriors of the Apache is none other than Geronimo. Geronimo first fought against the newly established Mexican settlers (after they claimed their independence from Spain), and then later the new comers from the United States. Geronimo’s defeat ended the Apache hostilities and their way of life. Geronimo and his warrior band were sent to Fort Sill where he died in 1909. After the death of Geronimo things started to change on the reservation. All of the Apache children were taken unwillingly from their families and sent to boarding schools where they were given new names and learned English. At that point in time the Apache lost their way of life…

    Colorado was the 38th state of the U.S. when it joined on August 1, 1876. It is America’s eight largest state. It was first explored by the Spanish in the 1500s and was given to the United States under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo that ended the Mexican-American in 1848. Because gold was discovered in Colorado, it attracted new settlers that caused conflicts with the Indians. This caused the Plains Indian Wars. Colorado mostly votes for Republicans but sometimes it shifts to Democrats. From 1976 to 1988, all the votes are Republican but it shifted in 1992 when they voted for a democrat. Then again, from 1996 to 2004, they went back to the Republican Party. In the 2008 election, the democrats won by a margin of 53.7% compared to the republican…

    This can be seen by looking at the diagram at the Arizona State Museum showing the Apaches’ annual subsistence cycle that included farming, hunting, raiding, and gathering. The cycles were very important for the Apache to sustain themselves. The Apache believed that this knowledge came from the Mountain Spirit People know as the Gaan. The Gaan were the ones that had knowledge of the plants and animals of the mountain and they shared this knowledge to the Apache. The Apache have a great understanding of the cycles that take place in their homeland and it creates a strong relationship between them and nature.…

    American heroism is a term that started to show itself in the early years of the creation of America as a nation and before hand when America was first founded and explored as a frontier. Heroism defined by the Oxford English Dictionary is simply, Great Bravery (Oxford, 2013). Heroism only consists of someone doing something brave, being courageous in the face of danger being someone who other people want to follow and emulate. Heroism in itself is the basis for American heroism but with the addition of American in the beginning of the term it also adds something to the definition as well. American heroism demands civilization or becoming civilized in itself to be the proper form of American heroism. It can not be American heroism unless civilization is already present or is there for the development of civilization. In both D. W. Griffith’s 1915 film, The Birth of a Nation and James Fenimore Cooper’s 1826 novel, The Last of the Mohicans, American heroism is at the forefront of the plot but only due to the rising development of civilization of the characters, settings, and plot. The definition of civilization by the Oxford English Dictionary is, the process by which a society or place reaches an advanced stage of social development and organization (Oxford, 2013). Civilization is not the sole part of American heroism but it is a major point for it’s creation and continued use in the development of American culture. America was developing itself as a nation, while gaining both populace and industry. It began to model itself after many European countries and using their influence on development, implemented civilization as a critical factor for their own form of heroism, American heroism.…

    The Apache tribe lived in the American southwest desert regions, which included Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Living on the plateaus, the food was alright even though they lived in desert type climates. There was little rain and cacti that covered the rocky, dry terrain. The hunting wasn't always great. Rabbits and smaller mammals were hunted, but didn't feed mouths well. 1601 was when the Apache first were spotted and given that name. On the southern plains they were given the name querecho. But they never stayed in the same spot for long. They were always on the move. They grew foods such as watermelon, corn, and beans. Their diets consisted of mostly grains and plant foods.…

    Originating from the Latin word sacrificium, “ which is a combination of the words sacer, meaning something set apart from the secular or profane for the use of supernatural powers, and facere, meaning [‘to make’].” (Faherty) The earliest anyone has proposed the term sacrifice to be used is 1871 as a noun, relating to using sacrifices in religious ceremonies: “Sir Edward Burnett Tylor, a British anthropologist, proposed his theory that sacrifice was originally a gift to the gods to secure their favour or to minimize their hostility.” (Faherty) Another theory of how the word came about, again religiously related, Faherty also suggests William Robertson Smith’s ideology “that the original motive of sacrifice was an effort toward communion among the members of a group, on the one hand, and between them and their god, on the other.” During religious ceremonies when the term sacrifice was being used during this time period, people would present a “holy” human or animal to their god(s) in hope in return of relief from any issues or complications in their life or just a better situation in life in general. Native Americans used to do similar forms of sacrifice in different forms, including dancing, to the different gods of…

    American Indians have striven for freedom ceaselessly since the colonization in 1800s. But for different American Indians, the definitions of freedom vary a lot. For the chief Seattle, the writer of AUTHENTIC TEXT OF CHIEF SEATTLE’S TREATY ORATION 1854, the freedom means the rights to live with the nature harmoniously and to keep their religion and traditions. For Carlos Montezuma, the writer of Let My People Go, the definition of freedom is very absolute and stems from political rights. His freedom means the rights of managing the stuffs of American Indians totally without the control of white man. From my point of view, the definition of freedom to American Indians is more close to its political definition because the rights of protecting the holy nature will not be given if they lose the political rights. But I argue that the real freedom does not mean the absolute free.…
