The Apache have never been a single tribe, but a large number of related tribes speaking related but different languages. The names of the Apache tribes is a complex subject because each tribe has been called many different names by Americans, Mexicans and by themselves; each tribe was made up of several bands, each with various names.

Among the Apache tribes are:

  • Jicarilla
  • Chiricahua
  • Mescalero
  • White Mountain
  • Cibecue
  • Tonto
  • Lipan
  • Kiowa-Apache

This last tribe formed an alliance at a very early date with the unrelated Kiowa tribe (hence their name). Although speaking entirely different languages the two tribes lived, camped and hunted together as if they were one people, although the Kiowa-Apache always had a specific section of the camp circle for their tipis.
