The Nameless Ones are Apache descendants whose families were misclassified or left uncounted through removals and border enforcement. We are not a replacement for any federally recognized tribe. We organize to reconnect families, preserve culture, and build evidence for recognition — guided by respect, service, and truth.

The Parting
Bronco Apache families once erased from the rolls, still here — and never broken by farewell.
After 27 years of imprisonment, the Chiricahua survivors were finally freed in 1913 — only to face a devastating farewell. Most chose to head west to Mescalero, while others remained behind at Fort Sill. That moment of separation still echoes in our work today: reconnecting families and restoring identity.

Homelands Remembered
We map canyons, rivers, and mountains where Apache families lived under quiet names. Each place carries memory, guiding today’s descendants back to belonging.
We gather records scattered by removals, misclassification, and silence — from family documents to oral testimonies. Each item is protected by consent and careful provenance. Together, they form a living archive that strengthens recognition pathways and honors Apache memory.
