Western Apache includes the White Mountain, San Carlos, Cibecue, Northern Tonto, and Southern Tonto Native Americans of the Southwest. Although the Western Apache recognized no such superordinate level of organization, they are defined as a single cultural unit because dialect variation among them was minor, they were horticultural to a degree, and they were linked through matrilineal clans. In 2000 most Western Apache lived on the Fort Apache (White Mountain), San Carlos, Camp Verde, and Payson Reservations in Arizona. Western Apache is a Southern Athapaskan language.
