Apacheindianer

Apacherna har gått till historien som en av de mest krigiska indianstammarna genom tiderna. Från början var apacherna ett fredligt folk vars enda fiende var en annan indianstam. De stred mot de vita i ett otal slag då de vita inte kunde hålla sina löften eller som den stora hövdingen Cochise skriver: citat 'I do not think you will keep the peace. Once again you tell me we can stay in our mountains and our valleys. That is all we wish, we do not want to fight and kill whites, and we do not want the whites to fight and kill us. We want nothing but to live in peace. But I do not believe you will allow us to remain on the lands we love. I warn you, if you try to move us again, war will start once more; it will be a war without end, a war in which every Apache will fight until he is dead. Prove to me that I am wrong; prove to me that this time I can trust you.' http://www.nrcprograms.org/site/PageServer?pagename=cin_res_az_sancarlos_apache
