The Mescalero (or Mescalero Apache) are a Southern Athabaskan-speaking Native American tribe of the Eastern Apache division, traditionally nomadic hunters and gatherers whose name derives from their reliance on the mescal agave plant for food and other uses. Before European colonization, they inhabited mountainous and plains regions of what are now south-central New Mexico, western Texas, and northern Chihuahua, Mexico, organizing in small kin-based bands with a culture blending Southwest and Plains Indian elements. Today, the federally recognized Mescalero Apache Tribe—comprising Mescalero, Lipan, and Chiricahua bands—resides on a 463,000-acre reservation in south-central New Mexico, with more than 7,000 descendants.nnThe Kingdom of Mysore was a prominent South Indian state founded around 1399 by the Wodeyar dynasty in the region of present-day Karnataka. It rose to major power in the 18th century under Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, who modernized the army, resisted British expansion in the Anglo-Mysore Wars, and introduced innovations like rocket artillery. After Tipu’s defeat in 1799, the British restored the Wodeyars as subsidiary rulers; the kingdom continued until 1947, when it integrated into independent India. nnAt their Peak Mysore Maharajas were Worth $7 billion and were Richer than even the Personal Wealth of British Monarch.
