      People Who Made History, Native Americans
    • Die Apachen waren Nomaden und im Südwesten der USA mit geschätzt ca. 15000 Mitgliedern um 1840 das zahlreichste Volk der Indianer. Sie lebten in den Wüsten und Steppengebieten des heutigen Texas, Arizona und New Mexico. Die Sioux, die sich in der Prärie ansiedelten unterteilten sich in verschiedene Indianerstämme und Völker, die jedoch alle durch eine gemeinsame Sprache verwandt waren. Zur Kultur beider Stämme gehörte das Kriegshandwerk, das sie in diversen Kriegszügen ausübten. Gemeinsam war bei den Indianerstämmen jedoch ihr erbittertester Kampf um das eigene Überleben und gegen die immer größer werdende Übermacht der weißen Siedler.
