Government
The Fort Sill Apache Tribe is headquartered in Apache, Oklahoma. Tribal member enrollment, which requires a 1/16 minimum blood quantum (equivalent to one great-great-grandparent), stands at 650. The tribe continues to maintain close connections to the Chiricahua Apache who moved to the Mescalero Apache Reservation in the late 19th century.
Jeff Houser is the elected tribal chairman; the position has a two-year term, as do the elected tribal council positions.
