Is it true that the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter is named after the Apache Native American people?

Yes. A Wikipedia article on the Boeing AH-64 Apache states the helicopter was named the Apache in late 1981 after the Apache tribe, following the Army's tradition of naming helicopters after Native American tribes. The remaining retrieved items concern Apache-language, employment, or engineering topics and do not address the name's origin.
