"Apache", just like "Sioux" is not the name of a single tribe but a large group of many related tribes, each with its own chiefs and tribal councils.

Among the Apache the picture is further complicated by changes in tribal structure and because each group has been known by more than one name, leading to much confusion.

Today six tribal groups are generally recognised: Chiricahua, Western Apache, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Lipan and Kiowa-Apache.

Most of the modern Apache tribes are today governed by a committee with a president at its head; in the case of the Chiricahua Apache Nde Nation, Edward Two Moons is tribal President.
