Today, we gathered at Veterans Park in Mescalero, New Mexico, to honor the rich heritage and enduring spirit of the Mescalero Apache Tribe. Our tribe, uniting the Mescalero, Chiricahua, and Lipan Apache bands, stands strong on the lands that have been home to our ancestors for generations.

As we reflect on the strength and leadership of our past leaders and warriors, we are reminded of their fierce dedication to protecting our homelands, culture, language, and way of life. Their legacy inspires us to work together as one community, embracing our identity while striving for innovation and progress.

What an amazing day filled with pride and unity! We kicked off our celebration this morning with a powerful display of patriotism as our veterans raised the flags, accompanied by a beautiful prayer from Hazel Spottedbird.

The community came together for a mini parade around Veterans Park, showcasing our Mescalero Apache Pride!

This afternoon was packed with fun activities for all ages, including:

• Horseshoe Tournament

• Volleyball Tournament

• Basketball 3v3 & Free Throw Competitions

Lee Pike energized the crowd with an Apache War dance, and the Yuzos group brought us together with their uplifting social songs. We wrapped up the day with a thrilling Throw!

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this day unforgettable. Let’s keep the spirit alive and look forward to more community events!
