Indigenous people with a First Moccasin ceremony (6)

I believe the answer is:

apache

(Other definitions for apache that I've seen before include "A native N. American people" , "language" , "North American native tribe" , "North American Indian tribe - Paris ruffian" , "Native American - French hoodlum" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
