Hattie Tom, 1899
The woman in the picture was a part of the Apache tribe. The said tribe is a group of Native American tribes located in the Southwestern United States that has cultural relations. Some of the groups that belong to Apache are Jicarilla, Lipan, Mescalero, Salinero, and Chiricahua. Hattie Tom is the one in the picture and she was a popular woman in their tribe back then. By the way, this photo was originally taken by Frank Rinehart – a photographer who used to be well-known for taking various native and cultural photos.

Apache Woman, 1894
Here comes another Apache woman. Back in the days when tribe wars used to happen very often, there were two types of Apache people – one that fought hard physically with other tribes and the other type were the people who chose to live a simple life, not involving themselves in any war. The woman in the picture was more of the second type. She used to dress in a very simple, yet adorable way and keep in touch with Earth’s elements just like what most of the women did before.
