Apache is the collective name for several culturally related groups of Native Americans, aboriginal inhabitants of North America, who speak a Southern Athabaskan (Apachean) language. The modern term excludes the related Navajo people. However, the Navajo (once known as Apaches de Nabajó) and the other Apache groups are clearly related through culture and language and thus are considered Apachean.
