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.

Due to the increasing COVID-19 positive cases, the Tribe is asking for all Tribal members to reschedule any and all non-emergency doctor appointments only until the lockdown has ended.
We appreciate any cooperation and we encourage you and your family to do your part in slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Please stay home and wash your hands regularly. Thank you and continue to be safe.
