Two Native American men skillfully ride on horseback through a sun-kissed, grassy yellow field set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the massive Apache mountains. Dressed in traditional attire and armed with guns and bows, these figures embody the historical legacy of the Apache people, renowned as formidable warriors. The Apache people are also believed to be one of the first Indigenous tribes to learn how to ride horses, trading with the Pueblo people to acquire Spanish horses in the 1600s.
