But don’t be disparaging those that lived lives in relative harmony with their environment.

*************

You do realize that whole bunch of crap was invented by early 19th-century European Romanticists. The entire “Noble Savage” line is their creation.

Before they had horses, those oh-so-caring environmentalists would chase entire herds of buffalo over the sides of cliffs by setting the plains on fire. Just to harvest what little the band could carry away.

True, the Apache didn’t have buffalo herds to chase to mass death, but they were so savage to everyone, their name came to mean “enemy” to everyone.

Yeah. Great people.

They’re conquered. they exist on sufference. They need to learn, or soon be taught, so sit down, shut up and stop drawing attention to themselves before the rest of us get fed up with their crap.

Also, a portion of “modern medicine” was derived from their knowledge and experience of local flora.

The earliest explorers would likely have all perished from scurvy had they not been instructed by the savages.

LOL. God help us when Greeks start getting bent out of shape about companies named after Greek Gods or other Greek names.

Simple. Simply rename the company after the French Gangsters of the early 1900s.

Software always needs continuous patching, so the name is appropriate.

Tech is hopelessly woke. I would be shocked if the foundation comes away with name intact.

Unless they make some sort of a huge donation somewhere.(a shakedown)

I’ve been wondering when unstable people would realize that the software that powers millions of websites is called Apache.

Tell them to pound sand and cut the crap.

It’s amazing how these idiots pretending to represent racial/ethnic minorities want to erase those minorities from the popular culture. They’re evil.

Speaking for American Indians (in addition to others) who were members of the U.S. Army Air Corps, and later, the U. S. Army Air Force, and flew or maintained aircraft with “nose art” respecting the courage of warriors - as well as brothers in arms who flew with the Air Apaches - I claim that the organization (in the article) that seeks wokeism on its stated cultural angst, does not have standing.

First af all, Homo Sapiens are only "native" to one place on earth, the Great Rift valley of Africa. The Indians are all immigrants, just like the rest of us, and they acquired their lands through conquest ethos, just like all the rest of us, and it's high time we stopped paying them so much deference.

Secondly, how do they know it's Apache like ah-PATCH-ee and not Apache like ah-PAHSH?
