Shoshone is not a person but an Indian tribe, if you've ever heard of Sacajawea then you have heard of the Shoshone tribe. Sacajawea was a Shoshone Indian that led Louis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean. People say that after the expedition she went back to her native people and lived there until she died in 1844. WARNING: This might just be a legend! ( she did lead Louis and Clark through the country to the Pacific Ocean though that's an accurate fact!)

Are the apache descendants from Aztecs?

The native American tribes collectively known today as Apaches are an Athapaskan people, speaking a language classified as Southern Athapaskan; they are related to tribes in the far north (in Alaska, the Yukon, British Colombia and the Pacific coast of Canada). They are also closely related to the Navajo. It is extremely likely that the entire group represents a single migration wave from Asia into the Americas, part of which remained in the north while the ancestors of the Apaches moved further south. They call themselves various forms of nde, dene, ende, dine or na-dine - all these mean "The People".The Aztecs speak a Uto-Aztecan language called Nahuatl; they are very distantly related linguistically to the Utes, Bannocks, Shoshones, Paiutes and "Digger Indians", but they have absolutely no connection at all with the Apache tribes.
