The Salinero Apaches were an Apache group closely associated with the Mescalero Apaches who lived in the area of what is now western Texas, eastern New Mexico and northern Chihuahua in the 18th century.〔Gary Clayton Anderson, ''The Indian Southwest, 1580-1830'' (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1999) p. 120–121〕 The name Salinero,"salt producer", was frequently used by the Spanish to refer to various unrelated Indian groups of northern Mexico (present Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Coahuila, and Chihuahua) and Texas, that exploited local sources of salt. The main base of the Salinero Apaches was along the Pecos River in Texas, and their range extended northward along this river into southeastern New Mexico. Sometimes these Salinero Indians were equated with the ''Natages (Nadahéndé - ″Mescal People″)'', an powerful band of the Mescalero Apache which ranged between the Pecos River and Rio Grande. It is clear therefore that the Salineros were Apache Indians and that they were among the groups that eventually became known as Mescalero Apache. The Pecos River was therefore called by the Spanish ''Rio Salado'' or also ''Rio del Natagee'' after the Salinero Apache or Natages. The term is often used for other unrelated groups who lived in what is today Tamaulipas.〔Thomas N. Campbell, "(Salinero Indians )," Handbook of Texas Online (), accessed December 30, 2011. Published by the Texas State Historical Association.〕 In the early 17th century, some of the Salinero people of northern Mexico allied with the Acaxee in their war with the Spanish.〔Roberto Mario Salmon, ''Indiana Revolts in Northern New Spain: A Synthesis of Resistance, 1680-1786'' (New York: University Press of America, 1991), p. 21〕 ==Sources== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salinero Apaches」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
