Apa'ches (ä-pä' chāz), a tribe of Indians that inhabit Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Mexico. They are the most treacherous and bloodthirsty of Indians, and live by hunting and robbery. They have no single chief. By a system of mountain signals they can gather at short notice a large body of warriors.
