Apache Indian History
White Mountain Apache. Formerly the
Sierra Blanca Apache, a part of the Coyoteros, so called on account of
their mountain home.
The name is now applied to all the Apache under Ft
Apache agency, Ariz., consisting of Arivaipa, Tsiltaden or Chilion,
Chiricahua, Coyotero, Mimbrefio, and Mogollon.
