Examines how Apache groups in the Spanish borderlands, including the Chiricahua and Mimbreno bands, adapted to Spanish colonial policies through raiding, trading, and strategic alliance. Challenges the narrative of Apache resistance as purely military, showing instead a complex web of economic interdependence, gift economies, and negotiated coexistence.
