origin

Jay Tavares mother is a member of the White Mountain Apache ( Dzil Łigai Si'án Ndee , "People of the White Mountains"), a group of the Western Apaches; his father is Navajo . However, since both peoples were matrilocal (the man moves to his wife's family and their settlement at the wedding) and matrilineal (the descent is determined by the woman's family) socially, it is therefore correct to call Tavare the Western Apaches.
