The Apache Tribe
By Ale
Intro
I have been researching this
Native American tribe called
the Apache. They lived in West
Texas. They also live in Arizona,
Western Mexico, and Southern
Colorado.
.
Houses
Apache people lived in a Wikup.
They made this Wikup with sticks,
leaves and bear grass.They made
a frame made out of sticks and
then they held it all together with
bear grass and covered it with leaves.
Religion
The Apache have many religions
but I only named one. Their
religion is about a hidden ball game.
Their are good and evil animals
and they decide whether the world
should be forever dark or not.
Rituals
Sometimes many rituals
were about the sacred
mountain deer. It was
performed by medicine men.
They had religious guidelines
on how to dispose of the bones
and how to cut a animal.
Hunting
The Apache hunted and
planted crops. They used
a normal bow and arrow to hunt
buffalo,rabbits and deer.
The women planted crops.
Clothes
Apache clothes were made out
of animal hide with seed beads
for decoration.For a women they
would make buckskin skirts.They
made moccasins out of leather too.
Health
They would have medicine
men to cure sickness.The
medicine men would also
perform for longer life and
the crop harvest. Then
people would make masks to
contact the spirits.
Fable
Apache had this story was
about the Big Owl.The Big Owl
was a dangerous owl basically
like the story we tell about the
bogeyman.The Big Owl was
described to have a human
form and it was a man eating
creature
