The Apache Indians were a large group of Indians that band together to fight off white settlers that were coming to settle on their land. Some traded with the whites and Mexicans while others, much larger groups, raided the white settlements. The Apaches and the Mexicans were at peace a while until Mexico started to take much of the Apache land, so the Apaches started to fight back. Though the Apaches and Mexicans were at war with one another some traded with others, it depended on the band and the village, one band may hate one village and trade with another. When the US went to war with Mexico the Apaches promised safe passage way to get to Mexico.
