Apache Fact
One interesting fact that I learned while researching the Apache tribe, is that there is a very big coming-of-age ceremony for girls, but not one at all for boys. Especially since the Apache are hunter gathers' I would think that the boys would have some sort of ceremony to help prepare them for hunting for the tribe. There is a huge Sunrise ceremony that the girls take part in to prepare them for becoming a woman, but they don't do anything to prepare the boys. This seems a little strange because I think that given the way that the Apache live, the boys have more do to prepare for adulthood than girls.
