The most fierce tribe in N. America

Was it the Apache, Salish, Blackfeet, coastal Tribes, Iriquois, Huron, Siox, Chumash, Aztec. Who????

Apache or Comanche

the Mayans were tough to. The conquest of Yucat�n started in 1524, but not until 1697 the last Maya city (Tayasal) fell. Even then the Mayans regulary revolted against the Spanish and later the Mexicans. It was not before 1910 when the last rebels were defeated.

I'd also say Apache or Comanche.  Not only were they amazingly successful in battle and absolutely fearless (it was said that one Apache with bow and arrows was more formidable than ten men with guns), they were also quite brutal.  These were the tribes most likely to savagely torture prisoners, there are some stories that would make any stomach turn

Geronimo, with 38 Apaches, fought so ferociously that the US government sent 1/5 of its army to capture them, along with aid from the Mexican army.

The Seminoles in Florida were also very fierce fighters.  I believe they were the only Native American nation who technically were never defeated, though they fought three wars with the U.S.  This was the only war in which the U.S. sent in its marines and navy as well as its army to fight the Seminoles.

The answer to this question is an easy one. the most fierce tribe in
N.america was the not the lakota(dakota), the huron or the mighty six nations (Mohawk, seneca,onondaga,onieda,cayuga, tuscarora), but the only tribe to beat them all.  Although most of the battles the anishnabe fought in were from a defensive standpoint they were able to push the six nations land out of central and southern Ontario to were they are today in upstate new york. As well as push the lakota out of the some parts of minnesota. the ojibway didnt go looking for trouble but if other tribes started to encroch on there lands they were more then able to push them all back. 

Surely it varies throughout history. The Comache were the whipping boys of the Apache at one time, then later became the bogeymen of the Texans.

Hi Guys:

Mayans were in continous rebellion till 20 century.
The so called Zapatista rebellion was not an ethnic clash. The Chiapas state has been in contionous turmoil not because ethnical issues. It is related to the poverty, the interests of the coffe plantation owners, the lumberjacks, the cattle owners and even religion.



However, I would like to point out that the topic stablished fiercest tribe, Mayans and Mexicas were far away to be considered a tribe at the top point of their splendour.

Regards

Good Day to all:

I�d say that the Comanches (related to the Shoshones) were one of the fiercest tribes in N.A. They drove the Apaches off the southern plains and resisted the US army until late in 19th century. A smallpox epidemic (probably infiltrated by the white man - [sarcasm emphasized] took a heavy toll on them and ten years later, a cholera outbreak (probably also caused by the white man [more sarcasm intended]wiped out about half of the population.

I would say the sioux or the aztecs.

Iroquois:

+Iroquois raiding parties were able to make raids even 1,000 miles away from home.

+Iroquois systematically tried to conquest their neiqhbours and expand their confederacy

+Iroquois completely destroyed huron confederacy, another iroquoian speaking, but more than 10000 persons larger tribe.

+Iroquois tortured their prisoners

+Iroquois were militarily most advanced woodland indians before mid-18 century

Tlingits and Haida:

+Tlingit and Haida raiding parties were able to make raids even 1,000 miles away from home.

+Tlingits and Haida stopped russian expansion to east

+They had cannons

+Tlingits were able to successfully defend russian fort they had captured

Apaches

+Apaches were the first tribe with cavalry able to defeat conquistadores.

+Apaches lived for raiding - most of their food, tools and later clothing came from raiding

+Apaches defeated Aztecs who retreated north after fall of Tenochtitlan

+Apaches stopped Spanish invasion north.

+Apaches started war against whites in 1600 and were the last tribe to surrender.

 

These tribes were the fiercest, I think

the haudenosaunee ,better know as iroquees ,were a strong and democrtic
society as long as hadn't any contact to the white men.these alliance out of six nations ,Mohawk ,Onondaga ,Oneida,Cayuga,Seneca and Tuscarora were living St.Lorence River to the Hudson River up to the Lake Erie. they were proud and brave ,but were totaly forced to live in reservates in different parts of the states and canada.
a memorable incident was in the ww II the people of the iroquees nation had declared the war to nazi-german ,but won't cooperate with the usa.
