Description
Now the headquarters of the Jicarilla Apache, Dulce (meaning ﾡﾰsweetﾡﾱ in Spanish) was named by the impoverished and relocated Indians who associated the place with the sugar and candy that came with government-supplied rations. Since the establishment of the reservation in 1887, Dulce has become the hub of everything associated with the Jicarillas. From the early timber operations, farming and livestock raising, the Jicarilla Apache have become an economic powerhouse of northern New Mexico. Dulce is now a community living in two worlds, fully immersed in the American mainstream economy with a world-class hunting lodge, significant oil and gas operations and widely diversified investments while fiercely maintaining the centuries-old language, culture, religion and ceremonies of Jicarilla Apache Indians.
