Some of their locations
Summary
The Apache unlike the Caddo tribe only has one chief to lead the tribe. They also lived in teepees while most of the other tribe's lived in more things like huts with grass and frames or dug out canoes. Apaches main food resource was obviously buffalo when some of the other tribes like the coastal pains was fish and some farming. Most of the clothing was the same other than a few differences like animal hide and feathers. Because they mostly ate buffalo they wore the buffalo skin and used their bones as weapons. Apache maybe not the smartest group there is, but they most definitely have some interesting ways of living.
