Question

My dad is full Mescalero Apache and all 14 children were born there except him. It is very important that I find out how to be recognized by our tribe. I don't know where to start. My dad isn't in the greatest health, and it is very disheartening to see how little help there is, especially when this is our pride.

Mescalero (or Mescalero Apache) is a Native American tribe of Southern Athabaskan heritage currently living on the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation in southcentral New Mexico. The Mescaleros opened their doors to other Apache bands, the Chiricahua who were imprisoned at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and the Lipan Apaches . The Reorganization Act of 1936 consolidated the tribes onto the reservation
