Apache Woman in 1894
This Apache woman wore buck skin clothing adorned with beads, which was fairly traditional at the time she was photographed in 1894. The Apache were considered some of the most fearsome warriors in the North American continent, and many tribes stayed out of their way or made sure they remained in their good graces. But the Apache were no match for the United States and Mexican armies that forced them to run for safer territories in the late 19th century.
