Tú sis Ndé

Tú sis Ndé, the Big Water People, were a Lipan Apache band of the lower Rio Grande country. Their range extended across the Gulf coastal plain into Coahuila, on both sides of the river. In 1765 many members left the Spanish mission of San Lorenzo de la Santa Cruz and went south into Mexico. The Lipan maintained communities and family connections across this broad borderland, joining other bands for shared purposes.
