Book Description
This evenhanded history of the Jicarilla Apache tribe of New Mexico highlights their long history of cultural adaptation and change--both to new environments and cultural traits. Concentrating on the modern era, 1846-1970, Veronica Tiller, herself a Jicarilla Apache, tells of the tribe's economic adaptations and relations with the United States government.
Originally published in 1983, this revised edition updates the account of the Jicarilla experience, documenting the significant economic, political, and cultural changes that have occurred as the tribe has exercised ever greater autonomy in recent years.

Best History Yet of the Jicarilla Apache, Nov 26 2007
By D. Hocking - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Jicarilla Apache Tribe: A History (Paperback)
This is the best history yet of the Jicarilla Apache, an interesting people who once were the scourge of the Santa Fe Trail. This was quite an accomplishment considering the tribe numbered less than 800 members. The book is easy to read and covers their history from earliest known times up to the present. The tribe's power was broken in the 1850s by Kit Carson. The next 30 years were occupied in finding the tribe a reservation as they wandered and were sent from place to place in search of some place they'd be allowed to stay. Shuffled off to wasteland the tribe has time and again turned up wealth first in timbers, then cattle, then oil, gas and uranium leases and almost as regularly up to the 1960s had the wealth stolen from them by unscroupulous Indian agents and government incompetence. The author is not always well documented presenting new evidence without a source and is clearly biased in favor of Ollero Jicarillas.
