✊ When the blood in your veins returns to the sea,
and the earth in your bones returns to the ground,
perhaps then you will remember that this land does not belong to you.
it is you who belong to this land.

RARE PHOTO OF THREE APACHE BROTHERS FROM THE 1880'S:
Note the warrior (R) is barefeet. While not commonplace, it wasn't strange. On the warpath Apache moccasins lasted 3 days. This meant warriors either brought an additional pair or repair kit. Also, extended time on the trail, outrunning the two largest armies in North America = some barefeet warriors occasionally. The huge distinction between Apaches and Plains tribes, were horses. The Lakotas, Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and others never went into infantry mode. They were like the US Cavalry; always mounted unless the horse was shot out from under them. The Comanches and Shoshone, were major horse breeders; even to this day.
Meanwhile, Apache culture did not lend itself to horse breeding. Horses were acquired in raids and warfare. In addition, Apache nantans and circumstances pushed warriors to the limit. They would ride their horses into the ground, dismount and continue on foot. They simply had to leave that area. These are the reasons: 1/4 of the US Army (against Geronimo), the Mexican Army, the Arizona Volunteers, (a vigilante group that sold Apache scalps to the Mexican government; $100 men, $50 women, $25 children, including babies), professional scalp-hunters, traditional enemies. Basically a laundry list of adversaries.
When the horse dropped from exhaustion in the desert, a hungry warrior would cut out a slice, roast it and continue on foot. Their stamina was off the charts. The people traveled 70 miles a day on foot with women and children. During the 'Geronimo Campaign', an all warrior group of Chiricahuas was clocked by the US Army covering 100 miles in a single day. The luxury of being always mounted, is one they never enjoyed. it was simply march or die. Their warrior training was the toughest of all the tribes. Nostril breathing taught from childhood, would yield great dividends in the Sonora Desert, keeping their throats moist enough to reach the next water hole or cactus leaves. The best US Dragoons (an elite force) of that era, could only eke out 40-45 miles a day on foot = the Apaches were always a day ahead of the Army until Apache scouts were hired.
