"Mescalero" is a Spanish word used to name the gulgahende (people of the Plains) and ni't'ahende (earth crevice people) groups of Apaches (native Americans, not Mexicans) who lived in the Sacramento, Guadelupe and Davis mountains of New Mexico and Texas.

The word Mescalero means "makers of mescal".

In the language of their neighbors the Ute people it means "the enemy"

Comanche men wore breechclouts with knee-length flaps front and back, originally of soft-tanned deer hide (buckskin), later of trade cloth. Leggings were long and close-fitting, gartered below the knees and with triangular flaps at the side; long, twisted fringes and bottom tabs decorated these leggings, which sometimes also had a bunch of eagle feathers at the outer sides. Shirts were apparently not worn before the time that white traders came; then tanned buckskin shirts were worn until the end of the 19th century, adorned with long, twisted fringes except along the lower edge where a short fringe was cut. Shirts were often painted yellow or green, or a combination of both, while leggings were sometimes painted blue.

The women originally wore a knee-length skirt sewn up the side, with fringe along the seams and hem. A poncho-like top was worn over this. Later they adopted the typical ankle-length three-deerskin dress of other Plains tribes. Dresses were painted a buff colour or a muted lemon yellow. Short leggings were held up with garters and painted to match the moccasins.

Hard-soled moccasins were worn with ankle flaps attached and painted soft uppers. Very long fringes were attached at the heel, or even skunk tails (perhaps as a means of erasing tracks in the dust). Women often combined their leggings and moccasins to create boots with tops that could be folded down. Decoration consisted of a small amount of beadwork, paint and silver disks obtained from the traders.

Buffalo hides with the fur left on provided warm winter robes.

Women wore their hair long and loose, painting the central parting red. Men's hair was worn in two braids with a long scalplock at the back - braids were wrapped with otter fur or strips of red cloth.

The Comanche never seem to have used much quill-work or beaded areas on their clothes, preferring to use paint and edges cut in distinctive long, twisted fringes.

The women wore deerskin or broadcloth dresses with wide, open sleeves and a slightly flared skirt falling to" below the knees. A shorter piece of cloth, called an "apron", was tied around the waist. They carried a fan with a wooden handle and long feathers, a "purse" that was usually beaded and wore moccasins that came up to calf level. For pictures, google Comanche Indian Dress and you'can see photos from the last Pow-wow in Oklahoma.
The Comanche women wore deer skin dresses with flared skirts and long wide sleeves with trimmed edges and hem.

Comanche men wore no shirt, breech cloth(buck skin) was worn with a belt and deer skin leggings.

In the winter both, men and women, wore long warm robes made of fur.
The Comanche clothes ranged from many different things. Men usually dressed in deerskin shirts, legging and moccasins. Women traditionally wore a one piece deerskin dress with knee boots and beads. Children wore deerskin "pouches" and rarely wore shirts. If any shoes were worn by Comanche they would usually be moccasins
The men wore breech clothes or leggings. The leggings are worn when they go hunting and stuff like that.
Men wore deerskin shirts, mocassins boots, and legging. Women wore deerskin dress, knee boots, and beads.

The problem with native American history is that it only became history when it was written about by early European explorers; before that we have no record of what happened or when. We can only guess at the movements and locations of the tribes before first contact with Europeans.

The various tribes of the Shoshonean language group (Utes, Snakes, Shoshones and others) were probably located in the Great Basin and Plateau regions west of the Rocky Mountains during the prehistoric period - the same area later occupied by the Nez Perce, Umatillas and others.

The Paiutes remained in Nevada and eastern Oregon while the Ute, Shoshone and Snakes moved eastwards and southwards; the Comanches separated from the Shoshones and moved further southwards to their historic locations - the date this happened can never be known, but the marked differences in what had been the same language indicates it was probably long before explorers arrived.

So the answer is that Comanches became a separate tribe some time before the first explorers arrived and they still exist today.

Chiricahua Apache

Geronimo was born of the Bedonkohe Apache tribe in No-doyohn Canon, Arizona, June, 1829, near present day Clifton, Arizona. The fourth in a family of four boys and four girls, he was called Goyathlay (One Who Yawns.) In 1846, when he was seventeen, he was admitted to the Council of the Warriors, which allowed him to marry. Soon, he received permission; married a woman named Alope, and the couple had three children.

tauni-mara its is a phrase in the movie CHISUM, starring JOHN WAYNE, it's the north wind

==========================================================

Answer: Every aspect of the John Wayne film Chisum is false, including all details of the native Americans shown in the movie. The phrase "tahnee mara" was invented by the writer of the original story, who had no absolutely understanding of any native language or culture. Anyone who thinks they can learn history from American movies is extremely foolish.

The Comanche word for "alone" is sʉmʉsa(sʉmʉ' = one), and the word for "lonely" will be close to this. The Comanche word for wind is nʉena or nʉetʉ.

Tahnee mara does not mean anything in either Comanche or "Apache" (unspecified tribe) - the two native groups mentioned in the movie.

They did not cook on hot rocks, they cooked with hot rocks.

The Crow warrior Two Leggings recalled, when he was a boy, his older brother Wolf Chaser showing him the technique of boiling meat quickly using the materials found nearby: using his knife he dug a small pit in the ground then arrange four short sticks so they would hold the stomach of a buffalo over the pit. When filled with water the bag formed by the buffalo stomach was supported by the bottom and sides of the pit. Pieces of meat were dropped in.

Meanwhile a small fire was made to heat rocks nearby and as soon as they were very hot he carried them using forked sticks and dropped them into the water; as they cooled more hot rocks took their place and they were taken out and re-heated in the fire.

In this way the water was quickly brought to the boil and the meat was cooked.

The tribe commonly known as Assiniboine, from the northern Plains, got their name from this technique; from the Ojibwa words asinii (stone) and bwaan (the Sioux people) - so "Stone Sioux", because of their use of hot stones in cooking.
