I use the terms autonomous and independent to distinguish Comanches, Kiowas, Apaches, and Navajos from the large majority of indigenous peoples in North America, those in Mexico who by the nineteenth century had long since come under some kind of subordination by nonnative political authorities. Following independence, Mexican officials also came into conflict with semi-autonomous peoples such as the Yaquis and Mayos of northwestern Mexico, but such rebellions stood outside of the discourses that are central to my analysis. See Evelyn Hu-DeHart, Yaqui Resistance and Survival; The Struggle for Land and Autonomy, 1821-1910 (Madison, Wis., 1984), 18-65;

Newspapers are especially valuable sources from this period of northern Mexico's history, because when military and civilian officials corresponded about Indians, editors usually published the letters in their entirety rather than summarize their contents. For this reason, it is possible to recover in some detail Mexican interactions with Indians in any given state by working with the state's official newspaper.

Non-Indian observers occasionally glimpsed connections between pan-tribal meetings and emerging raiding campaigns. In December 1847 and January 1848, for example, a Texan Indian agent reported a meeting of between five and six thousand members of upper Comanche tribes, Kiowas, and a few Mescalero Apaches. The avowed intention of the present assembling is to make preparation for a descent upon the northern provinces of Mexico, Chihuahua, and others, early in the spring. See Robert S. Neighbors to W. Medill, U.S. Special Indian Agency, December 13, 1847, in Senate Report Com. no. 171, 30th Cong, 1st sess, and same to same, January 20, 1848, House Executive Doc. no. 1, 30th Cong, 2nd sess, 573-575.

Because Comanches absconded with fallen comrades, Mexican authorities often had to refer to the number of enemy dead in adjectives rather than numbers, or by gesturing to the amount of blood they left behind; see, for example, Miguel Guerra to D.

In August 1846, P. M. Butler and M. G. Lewis reported that 500 Mescaleros and 3,500 "Esreequetees" had "formed an alliance and acquisition to" a Comanche tribe they called the "Nocoonees," referring to the Nokonis, an ethnonym that only begins to appear in the documents around this time. When they used the term "Esreequetees," Butler and Lewis were referring either to the Comanche word for Mescaleros, "esikwita," or to the Kiowa term from which it was derived, "ésèkwità -g" both of which mean "gray feces" or "brown feces," a condition thought to be the consequence of eating mescal. (See Morris Edward Opler, "Mescalero Apache," in Handbook of North American Indians, vol. 10: Southwest, ed. Alfonso Ortiz [Washington, D.C., 1983], 419-439, 438.) Thus the 4,000 people to whom Butler and Lewis referred were all Mescaleros. The authors added that the Mescaleros "have heretofore been at war with the Camanches, but recently become their allies, and are now at war with Mexico."
