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.
