Confederation of Aboriginal and Métis Nde

   Nde (the Apache people) have always been a highly decentralized society with great emphasis on freedom and self-governance. This tendency allowed for Nde to remain free in our territories much longer than many other Tribes were able to.


   Many people are familiar with the (now famous) image of "The Last Free Apaches" sitting on the ground near the train that would carry them as prisoners to Florida and their deaths following Geronimo's 1886 surrender. There is, however, some evidence to suggest that at least one band of Nde remained free and were still conducting raids into Mexico as late as the 1930's.


   The decentralized way of life our ancestors maintained allowed for Apache Tribes/Bands/Clans to organize and conduct themselves with near-complete autonomy from other Apache groups and lent itself to the preservation of freedom. This proved to be a double edged sword in terms of cooperation and led to confusion between the governing bodies of the Apache groups as well as their interactions with the governing bodies of other Tribes and Nations.

   This Confederation seeks to preserve the  freedom-centric traditions of our ancestors while harnessing modern improvements in communication and technology to facilitate and encourage autonomy and cooperation between any and all tribal groups of the world.

Social Media

Telegram

This Telegram channel is the best way for non-members to interact with us directly, ask questions, and keep up to date with new developments.

Flote

Flote is a new, more privacy respecting, alternative to Facebook and Twitter. It is also a bit similar to Patreon. We have not decided exactly how it will be utilized yet but we do transfer any announcements to it.

Facebook

This is a private facebook group where the public can interact directly with CAM Nde members, ask questions, and share information. The only rule is BE NICE OR LEAVE. =) 

Coming Soon!

We will continue to add any new social media platforms here as we join them. Have a favorite you want to connect with us on? Use the chat icon at the bottom of any page to let us know!

FAQ

What is the purpose of this Confederation?

This Confederation intends to encourage unrecognized Communities/Clans/Tribes/Bands/Nations to join together, recognize each other's sovereignty, and work with each other towards economic stability and cultural preservation.

When will enrollment open?

As a Confederation, we do not record a "roll" and therefore do not have "enrollment" however, 2021 registration is open now! Please click the "Learn More" button on our home screen to read the information provided.

Why is there a donation required to join?

We partner with Indigenous Culture Preservation (501c3) in order to build language and cultural education programs that will be available to all Confederation members. These donations to Indigenous Culture Preservation are used to assist with funding these projects.

What is "Unseen" registration?

We recognize that many individuals with native heritage are currently not accepted within their own cultures for many reasons. We have made provisions for these "Unseen" Nde to join the Confederation directly, without being a member of a specific community. Our hope is that these Unseen members will find their place within one of the communities in the Confederation after joining but that is not required.

Why is it so difficult to find the answers to my specific questions on this website?

Our website has been specifically laid out in such a way that encourages viewers to read a little bit more and a little bit more. There is a lot of pertinent information you should look through before making the decision to join us. If you look for "Learn More" or "More Info" buttons and read the information presented to you we are certain your questions will be answered.
