| | Lipan Apache Indian History |
 | | In 1805 the Lipan were reported to be divided into 3 bands, numbering 300, 350, and 100 men, respective: this apparently gave rise to their subdivision by Orozco N, Berra in 1864 into the Lipajenne, Lipanes de Arriba, and Lipanes de Abajo. |
 | | In 1849, under chief Castro, they sided with the Texans againt the Comanche (Schoolcraft, Thirty Years,642, 1851); they were always friendly, with their congeners, the Mescaleros, and with the Tonkawa after 1855, but were enemies of the Jicarillas and the Ute. |
 | | In addition there are one or two Lipan numbered with the 54 Tonkawa under the Ponca, Pawnee, and Oto agency, Oakland reservation, Okla., and a few with the Kiowa Apache in the same territory, making the total population about 35. |
