TODAY'S APACHES

"In the United States right now, there are more than fifty thousand Apache Indians. Most of these Indians lived in area such as Arizona or New Mexico because of the effects of reservations. Apache children are allowed to attend school today and many of them have become successful in the society. For example, Allan Houser has become a world known famous artist. Besides in education, Apaches have also been very active in business and industries. Many of the Apaches’ social customs had changed, too. For instance, Apaches wouldn’t publicize announcements about their wedding in the past. But now, they are willing to post the information even on the newspaper. Even though the Apaches had lost their lands, freedom, and numerous other things, they still keep most of ancient traditions and ceremonies with them and these are their the most valuable estate".¹⁴
