Arts and Crafts
The Apache Indians were well-known for their unique taste of culture. The apache indians were very talented in their art skills. Their art mainly encompassed silversmithing, beadwork, sculpting, pottery and basket weaving. Basket-weaving is one of the oldest known Native American crafts--there are ancient Indian baskets from the Southwest that have been identified by archaeologists as nearly 8000 years old.
Beads
There are as many different Native American beading traditions, designs, styles and stitches as there are tribes and nations. Plains Indian beadwork is the best known, with its intricate peyote stitch beading and bone hairpipe chokers, but there are many other kinds of beadwork traditions throughout North America.
