Janero Apaches (Janeros)

"Janero" was the name of an Apache band of New Mexico. They are Chiricahua speakers, also known as the Ndéndai or Pinery Apaches; the name Janero comes from the Spanish place name "Janos." The Janeros have merged with other Chiricahua people. Most Janero Apache descendents live in Oklahoma today.
