Jicarilla Apache (Tribe)

The panel's pressure from settlers came as fifteen years of forced moves. Through the 1870s the government tried to send the Jicarilla south to Fort Stanton, set aside land near Tierra Amarilla in 1874 and then on the Navajo River in 1880, and in the early 1880s moved both bands, the Llanero and the Ollero, to the Mescalero reservation. Grover Cleveland's executive order of February 11, 1887, brought them back to this country, and in 1907 a large block was added to the south. The panel's own front sends the reader to its other side.
