Shá i'a Nde

Shá i’a Nde, the Northern People, were a northern band of the Lipan Apache. They maintained connections with the Kiowa Apache and lived in the southern Plains country north of the main Lipan ranges. Lipan groups shared an Apache language and traditions, while moving in smaller bands that could gather for common purposes. Bison and the grasslands that supported them were central to life across the plains.
