The apaches who were nonproducers were collectors. The evidence was in their language and importance of numbers showing they possessed objects of sufficient importance. All based on numerical strength.

Reminder of I and I
Shee for I or me(beings)inclusive
Shee-dah I myself(personal)exclusive

In story telling, this is very important mistake often made by outsiders as Shee would include all present within the story. Shee-dah wholly oneself.
That dah has negative affirmative dividing the word. So their language is womb language.
