As many shocked bystanders learned, Apache Chief's cry of "Inuk Chuk!" really meant "going commando" in Western Apache.

Justice League Heroes - Apache Chief
Tye Longshadow First Appearance: The All-New Super Friends Hour (1977)
Bring him back! Doing my research for this character, I don't think he has ever actually had a true main canon comics debut, which is crazy because I'd argue he's DC's most well known Native American hero. Black Vulcan and Samurai (his peers from The Super Friends diverse roster) have seem to be a least somewhat embraced elsewhere, but Apache Chief has only had 2 loose cartoon appearances, Young Justice being the first media that gave him a name. I'm sure there's sensitivity hesitation when adapting a character so intrinsically tied to a culture, but it also seems like The Super Friends did a decent job being respectful to Native American culture in his creation, at least for the time. I think its about time Apache Chief makes his full comeback.
*edit* Apparently there's some issue with the term Apache not even being a real tribe name, but a term, so that raises some issues in his adaptation.

Breaking Down the Hall of Justice Mural in Superman, Part 8: Super-Chief / Saganowahna / Flying Stag
Created by Gardner Fox and Carmine Infantino, Super-Chief debuted as the first Native American superhero in DC Comics, envisioned as a “Native American Superman.” In pre-Columbian America, Flying Stag of the Wolf Clan was on his way to compete for the title of Royaneh (Supreme Chief) of the Iroquois Nations when rival chiefs trapped him in a pit. Praying to Manitou, the Great Spirit, he was answered by the falling Manitou Stone — a meteorite granting him super-strength, speed, and flight for one hour at a time. The mural depicts Flying Stag and the meteor descending behind him. Masked with a buffalo head, he became Saganowahna, or Super-Chief, using his powers to lead and protect his people.
Over his long life, he suffered from dementia, and the mantle passed to successors — the first being a villain who fought Superman. The second, Jon Standing Bear, who briefly joined the Justice League before being murdered by Mister Mind. Another unnamed Super-Chief briefly joined the Supermen of America.
The meteor that grants his powers — the Manitou Stone — shares its name with two other DC characters: Manitou Dawn and Manitou Raven, the latter inspired by the Super Friends’ character Apache Chief. This opens the possibility of weaving these figures into a shared mythology. Notably, “Manitou” is an Algonquian word meaning the fundamental life force in all things, yet Super-Chief, Manitou Dawn, Manitou Raven, and Apache Chief all belong to tribes outside the Algonquian peoples, a cultural inaccuracy worth noting.
Speculation: His connections to both Superman and DC’s magical legacy (via the Manitou Stone) make him adaptable for either a Justice League Dark story or a Superman-linked film. The shared “Manitou” name with Manitou Raven and Manitou Dawn could hint at a larger mythological thread. His mural placement near Max Mercury and El Diablo could allow for a historical team-up of culturally distinct heroes.

Not…exactly how it went down but it’s the 1970s and Mel Brooks was occupied.
