Apache is the collective name for several culturally related groups of Native Americans in the United States, aboriginal inhabitants of North America, who speak a Southern Athabaskan (Apachean) language.
The Apache were a powerful people, anxious to defend their territory and constantly at enmity with the aggressive European population that was confiscating their living area.
Apache children were taken for adoption by white Americans in programs similar in nature to those involving the Stolen Generation of Australia.
The Eastern Apache were driven from their traditional plains area when (after 1720) they suffered defeat at the hands of the advancing Comanche.
