Description: White Mountain Apache Tribe
“Dagot’ee”- Hello and welcome to the new website of the White Mountain Apache Tribe. Our home is here in eastern Arizona, where we have lived for thousands of years. We believe that we come from the Earth, and that we belong to the earth. Our beautiful home was given to us by our creator. Which is rich in tradition, resources, wildlife, and outdoor recreation.
Our home is very unique. It starts at about 2,600’ above sea level on our southwest side, and ranges all the way up to 11,400’ on the peak of Mt. Baldy on our eastern border, our most sacred mountain, providing year round recreation activities. Here on the White Mountain Apache Reservation we experience all four seasons.
Come visit us at the historical Fort Apache, where the famous Apache Scouts were once posted. Also stop by our Culture Center & Museum , and take a look at Apache life. Theodore Roosevelt boarding school resides there and is still in operation today.
