The main subdivisions are the Chiricahua, Jicarilla, Lipans, Mescalero, Plains Apache (Kiowa-Apache), White Mountain Apache, and the Western Apache. The seventh Apachean group, the Navajo, are now considered a separate tribe. Origins:Archeologists say the Yavapai migrated south in the 10th century and the Apache migrated south from Canada around 1500. Both tribes say they have always been in the Southwest. Traditional Territory:The modern Yavapai-Apache Nation is the amalgamation of two historically distinct Tribes both of whom occupied the Upper Verde prior to European invasion. The Western Apache group calling themselves, Dilzhe'e and popularly known as the "Tonto Apache" utilized the lands to the north, east and south; while the Yavapai's known as Wipukyipaya were using country to the north, the west and the south. It was the Upper Verde where they overlapped. Original Reservation:After short, brutal wars with the government a Military Reserve of 900 square miles was established in 1871 to accommodate both groups. However, this Reserve was rescinded by Presidential Order in 1875 and all of the people, Yavapai and Apache alike, numbering around 1,700, were forcibly marched to the San Carlos agency east of Phoenix. Current Reservations:Camp Verde Indian Reservation The Yavapai-Apache Nation is located in the Upper Verde Valley of central Arizona off of I-17, 90 miles north of Phoenix and 50 miles south of Flagstaff. By the late 1890's the reservation system was breaking down and beginning in 1900 the survivors of the removal began drifting back to their home country in small family groups. In 1909 a postage stamp reservation was established in Camp Verde, followed by additional parcels in Middle Verde, Clarkdale and Rimrock. Today the descendants of these stalwart Yavapai and Apache people live in communities totaling about 600 acres. The Upper Verde Valley is characterized by chalky white limestone cliffs carved over the centuries by the Verde River. The Valley is surrounded by high country and enjoys an Upper Sonoran climate and vegetation. The flood plain and stream wash deposits are important as resources for farming and the recovery of sand and gravels. The Nation also runs a Tribal herd on lease lands.
