Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest

Traditionally, Apachean men were responsible for hunting, fighting, and raiding. In groups that practiced a more sedentary lifestyle, men were also responsible for tending fields. Additionally, among the Navajo, men were responsible for the construction of the home, a task that was typically performed by women in other Apachean groups.
