  • Spanish Relations with the Apache Nations East of the Rio Grande

Carlisle, B.S., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2001 APPROVED: Donald Chipman, Major Professor William Kamman, Committee Member Richard Lowe, Committee Member Marilyn Morris, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Andy Schoolmaster, Committee Member Richard Golden, Chair of the Department of History C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Carlisle, Jeffrey D., Spanish Relations with the Apache Nations East of the Río Grande. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May 2001, 391 pp., bibliography, 206 titles. This dissertation is a study of the Eastern Apache nations and their struggle to survive with their culture intact against numerous enemies intent on destroying them. It is a synthesis of published secondary and primary materials, supported with archival materials, primarily from the Béxar Archives. The Apaches living on the plains have suffered from a lack of a good comprehensive study, even though they played an important role in hindering Spanish expansion in the American Southwest. When the Spanish first encountered the Apaches they were living peacefully on the plains, although they occasionally raided nearby tribes. When the Spanish began settling in the Southwest they changed the dynamics of the region by introducing horses. The Apaches quickly adopted the animals into their culture and used them to dominate their neighbors. Apache power declined in the eighteenth century when their Caddoan enemies acquired guns from the French, and the powerful Comanches gained access to horses and began invading northern Apache territory.

The Reservation is located in the upper reaches of the San Juan River Basin and the Rio Chama in north central New Mexico and straddles the Continental Divide. The Reservation’s northern boundary borders the Colorado line. The western boundary of the reservation is about 15 miles east of Navajo Reservoir. Dulce, NM is the Reservation’s sole community and is home to the Jicarilla Apache Nation’s (Jicarilla or Nation) tribal headquarters. In 2010, the Nation had a population of 3,254. Figure 5.4-A presents a general location map with Reservation boundaries, communities, and other important features. 5.4.2 Physical Setting The geography on the Jicarilla Reservation ranges from high desert at the south boundary, at about 6,500 feet in elevation, to mountainous areas reaching over 11,400 feet in elevation in the north. The landscape varies from rugged pine-covered mesas and pinion-juniper woodlands to lowland sagebrush flats. Coniferous forest dominates the higher elevations in mountainous areas. 5.4.2.1 Watersheds The Jicarilla Reservation is located in the Upper San Juan Basin. The following water bodies lie within the Reservation boundaries: Willow Creek, Rio Chama, Dulce Lake, Mundo Lake, Horse Lake, La Jara Lake, Enbom Lake, Hayden Lake, and Stone Lake.

Today, the 636-acre reservation is comprised of five separate parcels with headquarters at Middle Verde.
