After 1840, when the Kiowa made peace with the Cheyenne, four groups—the Kiowa, the Cheyenne, the Comanche, and the Apache—combined to fight the eastern tribes, who had migrated to Indian Territory.

 Handbook of Texas Online: KIOWA APACHE INDIANS
Although many scholars lean toward the view that the Kiowa Apaches were linked with one of the Athabascan divisions, some speculate that they were originally eastern or Plains Apaches who became separated from their kinsmen when the Comanches first intruded into the southern Plains.
Cohesion was also achieved by the Apaches' functioning as a unit in the annual Kiowa camp circle, by linguistic isolation which distinguished the group and set it apart from plains peoples, and by inferiority of number which practically necessitated mutual agreement and cooperation for protection and consequent survival.
Apparently both the Kiowas and Kiowa Apaches were ranging at that time between the Platte River and eastern New Mexico and engaging in a lucrative trade in Spanish horses.
