Apachería Explained

Apachería was the term used to designate the region of the various Apache countries. 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.
