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.
