Q: What do Mexicans call the Apache?

Copilot: Mexicans historically referred to the Apache as “Apaches” or “Indios Bárbaros” (Barbarian Indians) due to their fierce resistance and frequent raids. The term “Apache” itself is believed to have originated from the Zuni word “ápachu”, meaning “enemy,” which was later adopted by the Spanish.
