Haskay-bay-nay-ntayl (c. 1860 - after 1894), better known as the Apache Kid, was a White Mountain Apache scout, and later a renegade, active in the American states of Arizona and New Mexico, and the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua in the late 19th and possibly the early 20th centuries.
His exact date of birth is unknown, but is believed to have been sometime in the 1860s. His year of death is generally given as 1894, but some New Mexico cattle ranchers had him living until the 1930s. The Apache Kid Wilderness in New Mexico was named after him. The Apache Kid character in Marvel Comics was also named after him but otherwise has no connection.

“You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn’t kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
