What was the Apache resistance?

Apache, and Navajo Indians at one time were of the same group. Some Bands of the Apache Indians are still considered at Navajo. All came from the same racial group many years back. Apache did not have political interest with in the groups. So they were never called tribes, but bands instead. There were 7 main groups with each having their own Band name. Example: Lipan Apache, Mescalero Apache, and so on.
