Which of the following is NOT one of the Five Civilized Tribes?

The idea here is identifying which Native American group was not considered part of the set known as the Five Civilized Tribes. Those five tribes—Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek (Muscogee), and Seminole—were labeled that way in the 19th century because some of them adopted various European-American customs and structures, and they lived in the southeastern United States prior to removal policies. Among the options, the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Creek are members of that group. The Apache, however, are a distinct people from the Southwest with a different history and cultural development, and they are not included in the Five Civilized Tribes. So the one that does not belong is the Apache.
