Apacheria
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.
Comancheria[]
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]
