Yavapai, who no longer claim to be Apache, but they did when I was a kid growing up and went to school with them.

It's complicated. some of them are, and some of them aren't, and there might have been a little more understanding, or respect, granted to an "Apache" in the 1960's or 1970's.

A really good book about the Yavapais is "Surviving Conquest" by Braatz.

I THINK I remember that Mike Burns, a well know Indian scout in later years was captured as a child a few days before the massacre, and therefore survived the destruction of his family and band.
