Apache Indian1500 - Current

When the Apache tribes were in their prime, there were eleven major groups: Arivaipa, Chiricahua, Coyote-ro, Faraone Gileno, Llanero, Mescalero, Mimbreno, Mogollon, Naisha, Tchi-kun and Tchishi. The United States Army found their to be very fierce warriors and knowledgeable strat-egists. The last of the Apache tribe, the Chiricahua, surrendered in 1886.

They were deported to Florida and Alabama prisons. There are still several Apache tribes today. There are approximately 5,000 Apaches today. The Apache tribes include the Plains Apache (Oklahoma), the Lipan Apache (Texas), West-ern Apache (Arizona), Chiricahua Apache (Arizona/New Mexico), Ji-carilla Apache (New Mexico), and the Mescalero Apache (New Mexico).

The samurai, members of a powerful military caste in feudal Japan, began as provincial warriors before rising to power in the 12th century with the beginning of the country’s first mili-tary dictatorship, known as the sho-gunate. As servants of the daimyos, or great lords, the samurai backed up the authority of the shogun and gave him power over the mikado (emperor). The samurai would dominate Japanese government and society until the Meiji Restoration of 1868 led to the abolition of the feudal system. Despite being de-prived of their traditional privileges, many of the samurai would enter the elite ranks of politics and industry in modern Japan. More importantly, the traditional samurai code of honor, dis-cipline and morality known as bushi-do–or “the way of the warrior”–was revived and made the basic code of conduct for much of Japanese society.
