Naiche - Chiricahua Apache

Naiche 1856-1919

Naiche, the youngest son of Cochise, was born in 1856. His mother, Dos-teh-seh, was the daughter of Mangas Coloradas. As a young man he took part in raids on white settlers and in 1872 was with his father when he met Brigadier General Oliver Howard. This resulted in the establishment of the Chricahua Reservation in Arizona ... Taza, Cochise's older son, became chief when his father died in 1874. Two years later Taza died and Naiche became the leader of the Chiricahuas Apaches ... In September 1880, Naiche joined Geronimo and Juh in an attempt to lead their people from the San Carlos Reservation into the Sierra Madre. However, in 1883 General George Crook managed to persuade the Apaches to return to Arizona ... Naiche and Geronimo broke out again in May 1885. Once again General Crook was sent after them. Naiche lived in the Sierra Madre until he was caught by Crook in September, 1886. Natchez now joined the all-Indian "I" Company, 12th Infantry at Fort Sill, Oklahoma ... In 1897 Naiche worked as a scout for Captain Hugh Scott and the 7th Cavalry ... After leaving the army he moved to the Mescalero Reservation in New Mexico ...

Naiche died on 16th March, 1919

Does anybody have a good (online) source for the Chiricahua/Mescalero Apache language? The only dictionaries I can find have like 20 words in them...

I need it for reasons.

Chiricahuas Redux

I took The Monsters camping this past weekend. They are seen in the photo chilling in their new tent. After our soaking last October they insisted there would be no more sleeping in the open.

Anyway. . . We had a lovely time. We were a mile-and-a-half from the nearest campers. Less than a dozen people rolled thru in three full days. Our campsite faced a stoney brook that would have inspired Bob Ross. And I finally saw just how much it takes to get The Monsters to crash. A lot. In short: Fun!

THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE NANTAN, GOYATLE (GERONIMO) IN WAR CAP :

Bedonkohe ...

Geronimo was born in what is today Arizona in the upper Gila River country on June 16, 1829. His birth name was Goyahkla, or "one who yawns." He was part of the Bedonkohe subsection of the Chiricahua tribe of Apaches, a small but mighty group of around 8,000 people ...

Apache nantans led from the front, so he might just be checking up on the column behind him. Many Apaches think he caused unnecessary decimation of the Chiricahua people; that he remained in the field too long, causing avoidable deaths. This nantan was blinded by revenge on the Mexicans. Full disclosure: he came home from what would pass for a shopping trip one day in 1851, and found his entire camp slaughtered by Mexican troops from Janos, Mexico. The dead included his mother Juana, wife Alope, and their three infant daughters. That Empire State Building sized horror, fell on one man all on the same day. So, you be the judge.

By 1884, he was in a bind. It became very difficult to recruit warriors from the reservations, as was the custom in earlier years. He even found himself competing with the US Cavalry for Apache men. The Army offered adult males jobs as scouts. Every scout was a warrior, but not every warrior became scouts. Those Army scouts were the albatross around his neck. They knew everything about him, the tribe and its refuges on both sides of the border. Every water hole, hiding place, arms cache, cave warehouses etc., were known to them. They would destroy winter stores piled up from summer operations in Mexico and Arizona/New Mexico. They essentially broke his back. By 1886, the pickings reached an all time low. He boiled down to 19 warriors; even resorted to child warriors. There were no bargaining chips left on the table from the 1884 talks. Geronimo was painted into a corner marked "unconditional surrender" ... When he finally handed over his rifle to General miles in September of 1886, there were only 38 people left in his band; half of them warriors. Deportation to Oklahoma, and what turned out to be a life sentence for him followed ...

The Chiricahuas served 27 years of incarceration 💔, before being released in 1913. It remains the longest confinement in US Military history ...

RIP Nantan Goyatle.

These funny guys are Chiricahua leopard frogs [Lithobates chiricahuensis, synonymous with Rana chiricahuensis], a species native to Mexico as well as parts of the US. They are severely threatened by habitat loss, having lost an estimated 80% of their previous range due to human activity. Captive breeding efforts are currently underway at the Phoenix Zoo; you can donate to the zoo here. Images by Californiaherps.com.
