Excerpt: Chiricahua ( US dict: ) are a group of Apache Native Americans that live in the Southwest United States. They lived in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona in the United States, and in northern Sonora and Chihuahua in Mexico. Today two branches of the tribe remain, the federally recognized, Fort Sill Apache Tribe, located near Apache, Oklahoma, and the tribe located on the Mescalero Apache reservation near Ruidoso, New Mexico. The Chiricahua Apaches are also known as the Chiricagui, Apaches de Chiricahui, Chiricahues, Chilicague, Chilecagez, and Chiricagua. Chiricahuas are called Ha'i'a¿há (meaning 'Eastern Sunrise") by the White Mountain Apache, Cibecue, and Bylas groups of the Western Apache. They are called Hák'a¿yé by the San Carlos Apache.

There were several loosely-affiliated groups of Apaches that came to be called Chiricahuas. These include the Chokonen, Chihenne, Nednai and the Bedonkohe. Today, all are commonly referred to as Chiricahuas, but in reality, they were not a single band. There were also many other less-related Apachean groups ranging all over eastern Arizona and the American southwest. It is incorrect to lump them all together, but these few mentioned bands that we call the Chiricahuas today have a combined history-they intermarried, lived and fought together occasionally. They formed short-term as well as longer alliances among themselves that today leads to a natural tendency to consider them as one people. The Apachean groups and the Navajo peoples were part of the Athabaskan migration into the North American continent from Asia, acro
