Combining archaeology with historical documentary evidence the goal of this project has been to assist the Lipan Apaches in reconnecting with their past and revitalizing their culture. This collaboration involves combining traditional information with historical and archaeological data. The work conducted under this History Scholars Grant provides valuable historical insights and at the same time assists indigenous peoples in their quest for knowledge and federal tribal recognition. To this end, we have been transcribing and translating and then analyze the contents of the Juan de Ugalde diary from his 1787 campaign to the Pecos River in an effort to locate the historical location of the ranchería of Picax Ande, the leader of the Plains Apache confederacy.
