Their territory included the narrow valley of the Mimbres River to the Rio Grande into the Mimbres Mountains and the Cook's Range. The band in the Mimbres valley is known as the Tchihende band. Mimbres Apache merged into the Chiricahua Apache, and today many of their descendants are enrolled with the Fort Sill Apache in Oklahoma.
