Apache was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.
Review: August 8, 2007.

Genocide[edit]

It is a fact that the Apache are the sufferers of ethnic cleansing and genocide. I know its not pretty but its true. This fact needs to be allowed to remain a centerpiece of the page, especially when speaking about their relations with the europeans. Thusly, it would be nice if people would refrain from removing this information, as said act is offensive and erasure of history. The erasure of history is key to continued genocide so you mah choose to support it via continued historical erasure or not. But know that if you do, you are choosing to support cleansing of history in favor of white supremacy, something wikipedia does not stand for. Thank you.

Provide verifiable and reliable sources and at least try to write without mangling existing language and sourced information in the article.older ≠ wiser 13:12, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tribes in Mexico?[edit]

How does the article begin by saying that the Apache remain in the U.S. and modern Mexico, and then afterwards list only U.S. tribes, as if the only tribes that exist are in the U.S., and not in Mexico?Jimhoward72 (talk) 00:45, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnobotany links[edit]

It's not appropriate to link to external pages directly in the text of the article like in the ethnobotany sections. Should we make a separate section for Ethnobotany on this page? Luiysia (talk) 22:54, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add the following to the "Regions with Significant population" section:

Canada: 825 Residents of Canada identified as having Apache Ancestry in the 2016 Canadian Census.

This information is taken from the following source: https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/dp-pd/abpopprof/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo1=PR&Code1=01&Data=Count&SearchText=Canada&SearchType=Begins&B1=All&C1=All&SEX_ID=1&AGE_ID=1&RESGEO_ID=1 GltKin21 (talk) 18:24, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Chiricahua ethnobotany subheading is placed immediately after a description of their kinship system, before the subheading on Jicarilla kinship. Maybe this should be moved further down to the space between "Undomesticated plants and other food sources" and "Crop cultivation", where another subheading on ethnobotany exists?

Done OP has since become autoconfirmed and implemented the edit themselves. Ovinus (talk) 16:25, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fought for centuries against the Spanish [and Mexican?] ppl?[edit]

How have they fought the Spanish and Mexicans, if the Mexican community is an effect of the Spanish inquicition? Or are they native too? 2001:1C01:2238:B400:FCCE:B0BE:96F1:7E0D (talk) 13:42, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mexico was ruled by Spain, and then it gained its independence. The Apache fought first the Spanish and then, after Mexican independence, the soldiers of the subsequent government.2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:94BA:53E6:DE82:BF55 (talk) 02:31, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apache-Comanche wars[edit]

See the Wikipedia article on the Comanche for some discussion of the conflicts between the Apache and the Comanche. More should be made of it in this article. There is also a long video on this and related material: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSYN7GF_ll0 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:94BA:53E6:DE82:BF55 (talk) 02:52, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
