A friendly reminder to keep wearing your mask and keep a social distance from everyone who is not a member of your immediate household.

The Tribe has masks and hand sanitizer available at the Tribal Office if you are in need.

Simply go to the front doors at the Tribal Offices and ask Tribal Security.

Even with people receiving the vaccine, the coronavirus is still around.

With this in mind, the Tribe strongly discourages family gatherings.

Everyone please continue to be vigilant and practice preventative health and sanitation guidelines due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result of a recent horrific protest at our Nation’s Capital in Washington, D.C., the Mescalero Apache Tribe will be on heightened alert.

Moving forward, any threats made verbally and/or written within the Mescalero Apache Reservation boundaries will be investigated to the fullest extent possible.

Should evidence of threats to the Tribe or its officials and employees be brought forward, the Tribe will use all its resources to complete a full investigation.

Should Tribal members witness anything suspicious or threatening, please contact Law Enforcement immediately.

The Tribe’s prime concern, as always, is the safety of all Tribal members and Reservation residents of the Mescalero Apache Tribe.
