===Ollero and Llanero bands=== The geography of the Jicarilla tribal territory consists of two fundamental environments that helped shape the tribe's basic social organization into two bands: the ''Llaneros'', or plains people, and the ''Olleros'', or mountain valley people.<ref name=Griffin-Pierce380>Griffin-Pierce, 380.</ref><ref name=Goddard8>Goddard, 8.</ref><ref name=Hook_Pegler116>Hook, Pegler, 116.</ref> Beginning in the 19th century, after being pushed out of the plains, the Jicarilla split into two bands: * The ''Olleros'', the [[mountain people]] - [[pottery]] making clan, a.k.a.

They began subsidizing their livelihood through sales of [[mica]]ceous clay pottery and [[basketry]] and learned to farm from their [[Pueblo]] neighbors. Ollero is Spanish for "potters." Their name for themselves is ''Saidindê'' for "Sand People," "Mountain People," or "Mountain Dwellers." The Spanish rendering is ''Hoyeros'' meaning "mountain-valley people."<ref name=Griffin-Pierce380>Griffin-Pierce, 380.</ref><ref name=Goddard8>Goddard, 8.</ref><ref name=Hook_Pegler116>Hook, Pegler, 116.</ref> The [[Capote Band of Utes]] (''Kapota'', ''Kahpota'') lived east of the [[Continental Divide of the Americas|Great Divide]] south of the [[Conejos River]] and east of the [[Rio Grande]], west towards the [[Sangre de Cristo Mountains]], in the [[San Luis Valley]], along the headwaters of the Rio Grande and the [[Animas River]], centering in the vicinity of present-day [[Chama, New Mexico|Chama]] and [[Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico|Tierra Amarilla]] of [[Rio Arriba County, New Mexico|Rio Arriba County]]. They formed an alliance with the Olleros, similar to the Muache alliance with the Llanero, against the Southern Plains Tribes such as the Comanche, Southern Arapaho, Southern Cheyenne, and Kiowa, their former allies. They maintained trade relations with [[Puebloan peoples]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://historytogo.utah.gov/people/ethnic_cultures/the_history_of_utahs_american_indians/chapter5.html |title=The Northern Utes of Utah |access-date=2012-03-11 |archive-date=2016-05-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160508235935/http://historytogo.utah.gov/people/ethnic_cultures/the_history_of_utahs_american_indians/chapter5.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> * The ''Llaneros'', the plains people clan, a.k.a. ''Eastern Jicarilla'', lived as [[nomads]] in [[tipis]], called ''kozhan'' by the Jicarilla. They hunted buffalo on the plains east of the Rio Grande, centering along the headwaters of the Canadian River. During the winter, they lived in the mountains between the Canadian River and the Rio Grande. They camped and traded near [[Picuris Pueblo, New Mexico]], [[Pecos, New Mexico]], and [[Taos, New Mexico]]. Their name for themselves is ''Gulgahén'' for "Plains People"; the Spanish picked it up as ''Llaneros'' - "Plains Dwellers".<ref name=Griffin-Pierce380/><ref name=Hook_Pegler116/><ref name=Goddard349-350>Goddard, 349-350.</ref>
