Today there are about
57,000 people who identify themselves as
Apache only;
an additional 40,000 people reported being part
Apache.
The major modern
Apache
groups include the
Jicarilla and
Mescalero of New Mexico, the
Chiricahua of the
Arizona-New
Mexico border area, the Western
Apache
of
Arizona,
the Lipan Apache of southwestern
Texas,
and the Plains
Apache
of
Oklahoma.
Of those living on reservations, farming, cattle herding, and tourist-related businesses are important
economic activities. The modern
Apache way of
life is a mixture of traditional beliefs and rituals, such as mountain
spirit dances, and contemporary American culture.
