In 1883, an intensive training program began of Apache in order to train them in the civilized Western way of life with focus on agriculture so that the Apache could become n productive people and settle down to agricultural living. The proceeds of their agricultural labor went to the American nation.
Geronimo and his band finally surrendered Sept. 4, 1886, and with numerous friendly Apache were sent to Florida as prisoners. The civilization program was finally successful and, in due time, Apache hostility in Arizona and New Mexico ceased.

There seems to be far less gender discrimination, in fact, with the Apache than there with their Western host country. (Apache culture )
