There are a lot of tribes out here, still more or less on their own land, although the US government, in its infinite wisdom, lumped several Apache tribes who didn't much like each other together on the Mescalero Reservation.

Back in New England, the local tribe were the Wampanoags. They called themselves Indians as a blanket term, also.
