About Us:
The Fort Sill Chiricahua-Warm Springs-Apache Tribe (Cheer-ah-Kah-wah) is comprised of a vibrant community of 814 members led by elected tribal members. The federally recognized tribe proudly carries forward the legacy of its ancestors in building community on its ancestral homelands as an effective job creator, through partnerships with local government to provide emergency services and in sharing its history, culture and outdoors environs. The tribe once resided on over 14 million acres in southwestern New Mexico, southeastern Arizona and northern Mexico until they were forcibly displaced from their homelands and held as prisoners of war by the U.S. Government for 28 years. The tribe’s reservation is located at Akela, in Luna County between Las Cruces and Deming, New Mexico and has landholdings in Arizona and Oklahoma.
