Apache Indians

In this paper you will read about the many ways that the Apache Indians used different

ways of technology to survive in there environment. They used many different farming tools in

which helped them to grow crops and gather berries. As the years went on the Apache hunters

hunted with bows and arrows and as the years went on and how they trade with other tribes and

people they had adopted guns. So in this reading you will be reading about different types of

tools that the Apache Indians used.

The Apache Indians used many tools throughout the years as they got more involved with

technology. When they wanted to plant or to crush the seeds that they have gathered they used a

seed beater that was made of twined openwork baketry (Taylor 56). To store or to place any

berries that they have gathered they had this coiled basket that they made in order to cook in or

to store food. Since some Apache tribes lived in the forests and well-watered valleys the mainly

depended on berries and hunting deer and antelope they had many ways that they could kill and

gather the foods. To cut the berries from the branches the Apacheans used a knife the is in the

center of a wooden stick which they would sharpen in with a smoothed groove stone. With the

adoption of horses was a great discovery because it made hunting and carrying the goods much

easier (Taylor 55).

Also the Apache Indians had many tools that the used when they were on the hunt for

food. They had a war club with also was made for war and hunting was made out of a stone

head which was wrapped in buckskin on a wooden handle. They also used the common bow and

arrow to hunt with as well. To cook the food that they had gathered the made the rope twister

which was made out of small pieces of wood that had small rope attached to them, and to start

the fire they moved the rope back

The Pueblo Indians developed a skill called Pumice. The object that was being used absorbs all water like a sponge and then releases it slowly as time goes by. This was a big help mainly because the land in which they lived on was very arid it also helped at times when the canyon walls blocked sunlight making it difficult to farm.…

    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…

    In spring, a season which brought massive runs of shad, alewives, herring, and mullet from the ocean into the rivers, Indians in Florida and elsewhere along the Atlantic coastal plain relied on fish taken with nets, spears, or hooks and lines. In autumn and winter—especially in the piedmont and uplands—the natives turned more to deer, bear, and other game animals for sustenance. Because they required game animals in quantity, Indians often set light ground fires to create brushy edge habitats and open areas in southern forests that attracted deer and other animals to well-defined hunting grounds. The natives also used fire to drive deer and other game into areas where the animals might be easily dispatched. Because the region’s climate offered a long growing season and generally plentiful rainfall, southern Indians developed a complex system of agriculture based primarily on three crops: corn, beans, and squash. To clear farmland, the natives used fire and stone axes to remove smaller brush and timber. They then stripped the bark (a process known as girdling) from larger trees so that they sprouted no leaves and eventually died. Native farmers (primarily women) then planted corn, beans, and squash together in hills beneath the dead and dying trees. By all accounts, the three crops, known in some cultures as “the three sisters,” usually did well under such conditions. Beans helped replace nitrogen taken from the soil by corn; cornstalks provided “poles” for the beans to climb; and broad-leaved squash plants helped cut down on weed growth and erosion. Farming seems to have allowed native populations to increase in the millennium before European contact. Some of the larger native cultures probably numbered in the tens of…

    Another way to get food was to plant or gather it. They planted beans, squash, corn, pumpkins, and melons but corn was their main food. They gathered wild berries, nuts, maple, roots, and wild honey. In the springtime women planted crops and summer through fall they gathered wild plants and fruits. Tapping maple trees for sap was another thing they did. Raiding beehives was also popular to get honey. The women were mostly responsible for planting, harvesting, and taking care of crops.…

    The people of the Old Stone Age gathered fruits and berries in order to obtain more food. Some examples of things they picked and gathered were weeds, dandelions, basil, mint, and Juniper berries. Since these were easy to find and easy to gather, this was what they regularly ate on most days. They also picked fruits such as dates, figs, and grapes. These fruits, berries, and plants helped the people of the Old Stone Age stay healthy and gave them the nutrition that they needed to survive.…
