Short description: Geographical region inhabited by the Apache people


Apachería was the term used to designate the region inhabited by the Apache people. The earliest written records have it as a region extending from north of the Arkansas River into what are now the northern states of Mexico and from Central Texas through New Mexico to Central Arizona.[1]

Most notable were the Apaches of the Great Plains in the eastern area of Apachería, located:

  • south of the Arkansas River in Kansas and eastern Colorado
  • in Eastern New Mexico
  • in the Llano Estacado and Central Great Plains of western Oklahoma and Texas , east of the Pecos River and north of the Edwards Plateau.

Notes

  1. In the early 18th century, the Comanche expanded out of present-day Wyoming into the lands that then became known as Comanchería displacing other tribes. The Apache were forced to move southward and westward as a result.[2][3]
