Lipan Apache are a band of Apache, a Southern Athabaskan Indigenous people, who have lived in the Southwest and Southern Plains for centuries. At the time of European and African contact, they lived in New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas,[5] and northern Mexico. Historically, they were the easternmost band of Apache.[6]
Lipan Apache descendants today are enrolled members of the Mescalero Apache Tribe in New Mexico.[5] Other Lipan descendants are enrolled with the Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma[6] and Apache Tribe of Oklahoma,[7][8] also known as the Kiowa Apache or Plains Apache. Other Lipan Apache descendants live primarily in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona, and northern Mexico.
