Apache is a collective term for several culturally related groups of Native Americans living primarily in the Southwest, which includes the Jicarilla and the Western Apache. Because they were a nomadic people, though usually within a very limited territory, they did not take to making pottery (with some exceptions such as Tammie Allen of Jicarilla). They did, however, weave, and became very skilled in the art of Basketry.
