Best Answer

The Jicarilla and Mescalero are the two major ones, but the Kiowa and Lipan Apaches were from the area as well. All the various nations of Apaches were migratory in nature and culture, moving with the game of the land and in response to the seasons. After all, it is natural to want to move when the temperature becomes to hot or cold, or to follow food and water sources.

Thus the actual land that the Apache people called home covers the extent of what is now today considered Northern Old Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern Colorado, extending from the Sierra Nevada Mountain rang in the east to the beginnings of the Great Plains.

Was the apache tribe located in Arizona or New Mexico?

The Apache tribe are located in Arizona, New Mexico AND Oklahoma and Texas. The most of the ones ( except the Plains Apache) in Oklahoma were forced to move there by the US government and army. The Apache reservations are in Arizona and New Mexico. Some Apache have moved to large metropolitan areas. Some Apacheans were employed in migrant farm labor and relocated to the central agricultural regions of Southern California. The federally recognized tribes are: Apache Tribe of Oklahoma, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Arizona, Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma, Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico, Mescalero Apache Tribe of the Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico, San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona, Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona, White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona, Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona. The Chiricahua were divided into two groups after they were released from being prisoners of war. Most are at the Mescalero Reservation. The Lipan Apache are also there. The other Chiricahua are enrolled in the Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma. The Plains Apache are located in Oklahoma, headquartered around Anadarko, and are federally recognized as the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma. The Navajo are not considered Apache but because they have related languages they are as a group called Apachean, During first contact they lived in eastern Arizona, northern Mexico, New Mexico, west and southwest Texas, and southern Colorado and Kansas The Apachean groups did not have much political or cultural unity. They spoke seven related languages. They had distinct and competitive with each other. cultures. Within each group of the Apache they lived in many independent bands. For example the Western Apache lived in at least 20 distinct bands. The Mescalero about 10 each with there own territory and traditions.
