Abstract
The author makes use of archival, linguistic, archaeological, and ethnographic sources to make the case that the Apache bifurcated social system of kinship moieties allowed the Jicarilla Apache to adapt to a variety of different ecosystems, subsistence practices, tribes, and cultures. The Jicarilla were thus able to survive and maintain their own identity throughout the colonial era using their connections to the Plains, mountain environments, and trade networks with Pueblos, other Plains tribes, and mixed Hispanic communities.
