DRESS • Originally Apache women wore buckskin dresses and the men wore leather war shirts and breechcloths. • In the 1800’s: many Apache men began to wear white cotton tunics and pants, which they adopted from the Mexicans and many Apache women wore calico skirts and dresses. • The Apaches wore high moccasin boots. • An Apache lady’s dress or warriors shirt was often fringed and beaded for decoration. http://wzus.askkids.com/r?t=a&d=us&s=k&c=akdi&ti=1&ai=30752&l=dir&o=0&sv=0a5c404f&ip=43d24902&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalcowboymuseum.org%2Fresearch%2Fimages%2Fr_a_jone_imag_11_lg.jpg MAIN MENU

  7. DRESS (Continued) • The Apaches also painted their faces for special occasions. They used different patterns for war paint, religions, ceremonies and festive decoration. • Today some Apache people still have moccasins or a buckskin dress, but they wear modern clothes like jeans instead of breechclothes. • The Apaches did not traditionally wear feather warbonnets, but the plains Apaches adopted these headdresses from their Kiowa allies. Other Apache people wore leather or cloth headbands instead. • Women usually wore their hair ornaments called nah-leens • Apache men often cut their hair to shoulder length (except in the plains Apache tribe.) http://wzus.askkids.com/r?t=a&d=us&s=k&c=akdi&ti=1&ai=30752&l=dir&o=0&sv=0a5c404f&ip=43d24902&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalcowboymuseum.org%2Fresearch%2Fimages%2Fr_a_jone_imag_11_lg.jpg MAIN MENU

  9. FOOD • The Apache ate a variety of wild plants, Yucca and Mescal were staples of the Apache diet. • In early spring, the women harvested the yucca plant, which sometimes grew 6 feet tall. It was called the desert candle because it had a large cluster of white flowers at the end of a slender stalk. • In late spring the women gathered mescal. This plant had large leaves that grew in the shape of a cabbage head. http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=active&biw=988&bih=572&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=yucca&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= MAIN MENU
