"subscribe"

This comes up for me pretty much every time I explain my work/life to
someone who has not yet heard of the ASF (if they don't mention it, that is
sort of worse). Reading Mark's comment I had the same question as Rich. I
would very much like to know the answer and the details.

I'm intrigued that it comes up every time (it almost never does, for me) and also that you think that it's bad when it doesn't (Why?).

If this is something you consider important, I'd encourage you to take the references posted by Mark and run with them. Do the research. Ask Brian. See what you can find out.

In the private archives I found:

   mentioned that they  should be referred to as the Apache Nation and

Which is the opposite of the terminology used on their official website, https://mescaleroapachetribe.com/

The word "tribe" is one that I avoid, because people do feel that it has negative connotations. However, consistently over the years, I've seen that the people who are offended by it are, for the most part, not the people being referred to.
