Apache Tribe Final Project Proposal Outline and Research Tips

ATH 205 Final Project Proposal Outline I. Cultural group a. Name: Apache i. Region: New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas ii. Climate: Apache lands are located in very dry, hot, desert regions that receive little rainfall iii. Environment: The environment of the Apache tribe includes mountains, open plains, deep canyons, fertile valleys, and the dry desert. b. Supporting Information: I selected this group because of the immense amount of history that surrounds the tribe and as well as the controversy that surrounds them today. i. Interesting Points: The Apache tribe was one of the first tribes to learn how to ride horses and they also hunted buffalo and used their skin for clothing and shelter. They were also considered fierce warriors and extremely intelligent strategists. ii. Context: The Apache tribe came to southwest America between 1000 and 1400 C.E. With the tribe being this old and being known for a lot of things that contribute to history, I believe that there are more than enough artifacts and information available to create a museum about their tribe. The tribe is also still relevant so to remain respectful to their culture, bringing in tribe members to oversee the creation of the museum will help tremendously.

iii. Interesting Artifacts/Features: The campfires they used can still be found as well as some of their huts and tools used to hunt. iv. Representative Artifact/Feature: One artifact that is apparent to represent this culture may be the basketry, this includes the weaving of baskets and this tradition has been passed down from generation to generation. Another artifact found that can represent this culture is their huts or clothing, they showcase their ability to use the buffalo skins in their favor. c. Current Status: The Apache tribe is still current with this generation of the tribe still practicing many of the traditions that were passed down. The tribe still occupies hot desert climates like Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. d. Historical/Cultural Events: The Apache tribe has many artifacts and a tremendous amount of history. The tribe were one of the first to learn how to ride horses. They also have many dances and traditions that are still practiced to this day. Also the use of tools and animal skins allowed for a lot of artifacts to be left behind, this will allow the museum to be full of the Apache tribes history. e. Research Background: Considering how prominent the tribe was and still is, Archaeologists have made many studies about this tribe. II. Potential sources III. Sarther, K. (2018, July 13).
