Wild Goose Band (Telkondaha or - to be specfic - Te c lkóndahän) Probably, the “Wild Goose People” of the Lipan Apache produced the most formidable warriors of all Apache peoples. There are some information on them, and I thought a small tread will pay an honour to this excellent warriors and horsemen. One of the best specialist in the field of the history of the Lipans - Nancy McGown Minor, The Light Gray People: An Ethno-History of the Lipan Apaches of Texas and Northern Mexico, on p. 95 describes them as follows

Karl Schlesier presented his idea on the formation of the Llaneros (Karl Schleiser, RETHINKING THE DISMAL RIVER ASPECT AND THE PLAINS ATHAPASKANS, A.D. 1692 - 1768, "Plains Anthropologist", Vol. 17, No. 56 (May 1972), pp. 101-133, at p. 129):
He argues also that: Schlesier is right here, since Cordero claims that the Llaneros are "divided into three parts, that is to say: Natajes, Lipiyanes and Llaneros". It seems that it gives a good argument to claim that the Telkondaha maintained their separate identity within the larger mixed grouping called Llanero.

In 1894 a Lipan Apache whose name was Caje, who was probably one of the last member of the Telkondaha band, joined the Lipan reservation. He appears on the census with his family, along with Antonio Apache, his wife and family, plus Antonio's sister and child, and Stella Lester and two sons.
So in 1894 Lipans still claimed membership of the Telkondaha band. Therefore the term "incorporation" is clearly wrong.
