Alaskan
Native Art
Unscrupulous retailers may sell imitations
as if they were authentic and crafts. As a result, unsuspecting consumers
could spend hundreds of dollars for items that are not actually made
by Alaskan Natives. If you're thinking
about buying an Alaskan Native-made art or craft item, it's wise to
invest a little time learning how these unique and beautiful objects
are made and sold.

Apache
Tribe
The Anglo theory is the Apache Indian migrated
to the Southwest from Northern Canada in the 1500's. The Apache indian
history says it was the other way around, that most of the Athapaskan
speaking people migrated to the North and a few stayed in their homeland.
In any event, it is generally agreed that about 5,000 Apaches lived
in the Southwest at the end of the 1600's.
