American Tribes History #1

Apache

Houses
All people in the Apache tribe lived in one of three types of houses:

• The teepee (Also known as Tipi) is for those who lived in the plains. A teepee is a tent made from animal skins or birch bark.

  ---

•  The wickiup is for those in the highlands. The wickiup is an eight-foot tall frame of wood held together with yucca fibers and covered in brush.

  ---

• The final housing is the hogan, an earthen structure in the desert area that was good for keeping cool in the hot weather of northern Mexico.

Food
Apachean people obtained food from four main sources:

• Hunting wild animals
• Gathering wild plants
• Growing domesticated plants
• Interaction with neighboring people for livestock and agricultural products (through raiding or trading).
