Two Lipan Apache children, Kesetta Roosevelt (1880–1906) [16] from New Mexico, and Jack Mather (d. 1888), at Carlisle Indian School, ca. 1885. The name "Lipan" is a Spanish adaption of their self-designation as Łipa-į́ Ndé or Lépai-Ndé ("Light Gray People"), reflecting their migratory story. [17]

The Choctaw-Apache Tribe of Ebarb is a state-recognized tribe and nonprofit organization in Louisiana. [2] The members of the Tribe are descendants of Choctaw and Lipan Apache people [3] [4] and are required to prove lineal descent as part of their state-approved membership process. [5]
The ultimate origin is uncertain and lost to Spanish history. [citation needed] The first known written record in Spanish is by Juan de Oñate in 1598. The most widely accepted origin theory suggests Apache was borrowed and transliterated from the Zuni word ʔa·paču meaning "Navajos" (the plural of paču "Navajo").

Chiricahua (/ ˌ tʃ ɪr ɪ ˈ k ɑː w ə / CHIRR-i-KAH-wə) is a band of Apache Native Americans.. Based in the Southern Plains and Southwestern United States, the Chiricahua (Tsokanende) are related to other Apache groups: Ndendahe (Mogollon, Carrizaleño), Tchihende (Mimbreño), Sehende (Mescalero), Lipan, Salinero, Plains, and Western Apache.
Mescalero and Chiricahua are considered different languages even though they are mutually intelligible. Western Apache (especially the Dilzhe'e variety) and Navajo are closer to each other than either is to Mescalero/Chiricahua. Lipan Apache and Plains Apache are nearly extinct, and Chiricahua is severely endangered.
