Correct Answer: apache.
the question asks which native american tribe listed is not one of the five civilized tribes. the five civilized tribes is a term historically applied to five native american nations: the cherokee, choctaw, creek, chickasaw, and seminole. these tribes were considered "civilized" by anglo-european settlers during the colonial and early federal periods because they adopted many of the colonists' customs and had generally good relationships with their neighbors.
the options provided in the question include the cherokee, apache, creek, and choctaw tribes. among these, the cherokee, creek, and choctaw are indeed part of the five civilized tribes. this leaves the apache as the correct answer because the apache tribe was not one of the five civilized tribes.
the apache peoples are a group of culturally related tribes that speak variations of the athapaskan language. they were historically located in the southwestern united states, including areas of modern-day arizona, new mexico, and parts of texas and the great plains. unlike the five civilized tribes, the apache did not adopt the same degree of agricultural lifestyle or centralized governance structures that were influential in the designation of the five civilized tribes. the apache were known for their fierce independence, nomadic lifestyle, and strong resistance against spanish and later american military campaigns.
in summary, while the cherokee, creek, and choctaw tribes were part of the five civilized tribes recognized for their adaptive practices such as creating written alphabets, establishing newspapers, and forming structured governments similar to those of the european settlers, the apache tribe was known for different cultural traits and did not receive the same designation. therefore, the correct answer to the question is apache.
