Chiricahua
The
Chiricahuas were a band of
Apache Native Americans that lived in the southwest of the
United States. Led by
Geronimo and
Cochise they were among the last to resist American control of the southwest. They finally surrendered and were exiled.
Their last stronghold was the Chiricahua mountains, in southeastern Arizona,
part of which is now inside Chiricahua National Monument.
