Apache Indians were nomadic and lived mostly off of buffalo; they used the buffalo skin for clothing and tent covers. They were also one of the first Indian tribes to ride horses.

  7. Jicarilla Apache Creation Myth • In the beginning of the world, there was nothing except the Spirits who watched over the world. The spirits had great power and so they created everything. The greatest spirit was Black Spirit and with a raindrop and some dirt, he created the animals of the earth. However, the Spirit could not stay forever on the earth so the animals begged him to create someone like them to keep them company and watch over them. So Black Spirit told the animals to go to the ends of the earth and bring what they could find. He took all the materials and began shaping them into man; then he sent a whirlwind to bring him to life. The animals felt the man would be lonely without a companion, so Black Spirit put the man to sleep and dream about his wanted companion. He dreamt about a woman, so when he woke up there was a woman sitting beside him. The man and woman did everything together and ruled over the animals.
