Dzil taadn

Dził Tʼaadn, the people at the foot of the mountain, were a Cibecue Apache group of the wooded uplands north of the Salt River. They lived along Cibecue Creek, a tributary that cuts southward through the mountains to join the Salt. Apache oral tradition remembered their presence near Promontory Butte and relations with the Pinal Apache farther south. The Cibecue formed part of the Western Apache, whose communities occupied the mountains and valleys of central Arizona.
