Coahuila Mexico

The Lipan Apache Indians, known as Náizhan, historically roamed from the Rio Grande through Texas to the Gulf coast, engaging in raids against other tribes and settlers. By the 18th and 19th centuries, their population was divided into three bands. The Lipan faced significant adversity during the Texan wars, leading to their eventual displacement to Coahuila, Mexico. In the early 20th century, a small remnant was relocated to the Mescalero reservation in New Mexico. They maintain cultural similarities to other Apache tribes.
