San Carlos Apache Tribe
The Apache - Original Name for ourselves is "Nde" and all other variations mean "The People" hold more than 100 thousand years of ancient knowledge recorded and archived by oral recollections, and ancient codices passed down through generations since time of creation. The Nde are a unique culture and people living in what we call The Beauty Way, "Walking in Beauty". The Apacheria has been known as a nation for tens of thousands of years as described by Mayan and Aztec codec. We held and created treaties with Spain recorded before the United States was conceived, with a distinct land base known to the United States and Mexican Federal Governments, stolen as the American Southwest and Northern Mexico, are traditional territories where clanship societies quietly thrive in a peaceful sanctuary status. The nation is reborn through The People's oral tradition of recorded histories put into practice in transferable form becoming active in trade. A people forced into the great Apache Diaspora and Confinement beginning at San Carlos Arizona are the complete appreciation of our unique history and culture. A People of great trial in the quest to become free once again. Steps towards sovereignty taken by erecting our trade economy, original status as nation state governed by traditional and natural law since time of creation to Walk in Beauty again. Our futures relies upon our actions today in taking steps into freedom for the children and their children to come.
