Chiricahua t r k w CHIRRiKAHw are a band of Apache Native Americans, based in the Southern Plains and Southwest United States. Today Chiricahua are enrolled in two federally recognized tribes in the United States the Fort Sill Apache Tribe, located near Apache, Oklahoma with a small reservation outside Deming, New Mexico,2 and the Mescalero Apache Tribe of the Mescalero Reservation near Ruidoso, New Mexico. The San Carlos Apache Tribe, Arizona does have Chiricahua Apache people there also. The Chiricahua Apache were initially given their present name by the Spanish, also written as Chiricagui, Apaches de Chiricahui, Chiricahues, Chilicague, Chilecagez, and Chiricagua. The White Mountain Coyotero Apache, including the Cibecue and Bylas groups of the Western Apache, called them Haih and the San Carlos Apache called them Hky which means Eastern Sunrise, i.

Sometimes it is noted that all Apaches called the Americans and European settlers with exception of the Mexicans as Pindah Lickoyee Pinda lick o yi White Eyes, but this seems an appellation from Mescalero and Lipan Apache bands, as the Chiricahua bands called the whites daadatlijende Bluegreen eye people or Indaaig Indaaignde white skinned or pale colored people or literally strange, not Apache people, which are white skinned. Please see the Bands section below for more names of bands and sub bands of the Chihuahua Central Apache. Culture and organizationeditSeveral loosely affiliated bands of Apache came improperly to be usually known as the Chiricahuas. These included the Chokonen recte Tsokanende, the Chihenne recte Tchihende, the Nednai Nednhi and Bedonkohe recte, both of them together Ndendahe. Today, all are commonly referred to as Chiricahua, but they were not historically a single band nor the same Apache division, being more correctly identified, all together, as Central Apaches. Many other bands and groups of Apachean language speakers ranged over eastern Arizona and the American Southwest. The bands that are grouped under the Chiricahua term today had much history together they intermarried and lived alongside each other, and they also occasionally fought with each other. They formed short term as well as longer alliances that have caused scholars to classify them as one people. The Apachean groups and the Navajo peoples were part of the Athabaskan migration into the North American continent from Asia, across the Bering Strait from Siberia. As the people moved south and east into North America, groups splintered off and became differentiated by language and culture over time. Some anthropologists believe that the Apache and the Navajo were pushed south and west into what is now New Mexico and Arizona by pressure from other Great Plains Indians, such as the Comanche and Kiowa. Among the last of such splits were those that resulted in the formation of the different Apachean bands whom the later Europeans encountered the southwestern Apache groups and the Navajo. Although both speaking forms of Southern Athabaskan, the Navajo and Apache have become culturally distinct. Historyedit. Ba keitz ogie Yellow Coyote, U. S. Army Scout.

AmericanApache relations, there was conflict between them, as they competed for land and other resources, and had very different cultures. Their encounters were preceded by more than 1. Spanish colonial and Mexican incursions and settlement on the Apache lands. The United States settlers were newcomers to the competition for land and resources in the Southwest, but they inherited its complex history, and brought their own attitudes with them about American Indians and how to use the land. By the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1. US took on the responsibility to prevent and punish cross border incursions by Apache who were raiding in Mexico. The Apache viewed the United States colonists with ambivalence, and in some cases enlisted them as allies in the early years against the Mexicans. In 1. 85. 2, the US and some of the Chiricahua signed a treaty, but it had little lasting effect. During the 1. American miners and settlers began moving into Chiricahua territory, beginning encroachment that had been renewed in the migration to the Southwest of the previous two decades. This forced the Apachean people to change their lives as nomads, free on the land. The US Army defeated them and forced them into the confinement of reservation life, on lands ill suited for subsistence farming, which the US proffered as the model of civilization. Today, the Chiricahua are preserving their culture as much as possible, while forging new relationships with the peoples around them. The Chiricahua are a living and vibrant culture,8 a part of the greater American whole and yet distinct based on their history and culture.
