A portrait of a Jicarilla Apache man, taken by Edward S. Curtis in 1904. The Jicarilla, who refer to themselves as Tinde or Dinde (meaning "The People"), were originally a nomadic people who lived in the area around what is now Colorado and New Mexico. Interaction with Europeans starting in the 1700s led to the Jicarilla being forced off their sacred lands, and the following two centuries were filled with strife, including a battle against the US 1st Cavalry Regiment. By the time of this photograph, the Jicarilla had abandoned their nomadic ways and were living on a reservation; the land of the reservation was not fit for agriculture and malnutrition and tuberculosis were widespread.Photo: Edward S.
