Famed Kiowa Chief Satanta, present at both famous Adobe Walls battles, in 1864 and 1874, holds his bow, bow case and quiver, made of animal hide trimmed with fur and trade cloth. This circa 1870s photo also shows metal trade arrowheads. Satanta not only led many attacks against settlers, but also helped negotiate the Medicine Lodge Treaty in October 1867.

Kim Winthrop Hoffman Both the colonial occupation of South Africa and the westward movement in North America were dependent on the subjugation of the native peoples. Neither people were pleased by the invasions of their territories. They reacted as we all would to foreign invaders with fierce resistance. These defeats of occupying forces pale in comparison to what the natives lost. So it goes.

This 1880s cabinet photo taken at Arizona’s Fort Apache features an Indian holding two arrows in his bow that looks to be a Self Bow, made of one piece from local wood, possibly willow, mesquite, cottonwood or juniper. His 1883 blue wool U.S. Army shirt and woven canvas cartridge belt indicate he may be a scout.

Dan Roberts Not sure how this became a location for a TV show in the early 60's RinTinTin.
The Apache lived in the mountains as well as the Desert and where tough adversaries for the frontier US Army. Making use of what was available Traveling rapidly and usually unseen for many years Defied any effort to force them of their lands.
