Cochise kept his word...so did General Oliver O Howard...so did John Clum...unlike Geronimo...Taza should have been leader not Geronimo...Geronimo is the reason the Chiricahua went to Florida...
@@curtismes Geronimo is the reason half of the chiricahua are alive. He was not perfect, but he was very very good and tried real hard, harder than most people could even comprehend to save his people.
@@johndunn9819 had he simply not fled the rez in 1885 he would have grown old on Turkey Creek...raised his children in freedom with the White Mtn Apache...whom are thriving btw in the prettiest place in Az....Geronimo is the reason they were sent to Florida...they could have thrived on the white mtn rez...prettiest country in Az...nobody was bothering them on Turkey Creek.
i don't know if this strong lady is still alive, but all i can say is that she have a lot of alive relatives in Arizpe, Moctezuma and Sahuaripa in Sonora, there are a lot of descendants of José Lorenzo Félix nicknamed "Mangas Coloradas", same as José, alias "Coché" (Cochise) and his youngest brother Pluma Blanca or "Juan el Apache" (Juan Figueroa)....there are a lot of grand-grandsons or relatives in Janos, Chihuahua. I think that reservation Apaches should try to make more links with their relatives apaches that survived in the Sierra Madre of Sonora and Chihuahua.
.Arizpeer er byen Geronimo og Chiricahuaene angrep som hevn for slaktinga av bl.annet Geronimos familie utenfor Janos( Kaskieh). Det var ved Arizpe Goyakla fikk navnet Geronimo. Han lå jo ei uke oppe i åsen utafor byen.Notere alle vaktrutinene og hvor mange soldater som var stasjonert der. Dro så nord for grensa og samlet en styrke på nesten 300 krigere og angrep Arizpe i et dødelig angrep med en knipetang manøver som lurte de meksikanske soldatene inn i en felle. I dødsangst og frykt påkalte de helgenen Jeremias, på spansk Santa Geronimo. Dette synes apachene var artig og etter den vellykkede hevnaksjonen ble vår mann bare kalt Geronimo. Det var soldater fra garnisonsbyen Arizpe som hadde drept Geronimos familie og andre barn og gamle utenfor Janos.
You can consult the original Gerónimo's birth document in the archives of Asunción de María church, in Arizpe, Sonora ...

Shes not the only Descended from Cochise.. he had a daughter named Dash-den-zhoos and she married kaydahzinne.. they had nelson kaydahzinne lulu Kaydahzinne and lena kaydahzinne.. their kids grand kids live in mescalero .
Listen, if she does really have pics of Cochise, they should be released. It would be a true honor to see his face. There are pics of Naiche and Taza, but not The Great! -June 16th
I don´t know if you are familiar with a Norwegian cientist named Helge Ingstad. He found out and proved the relationship between apache language and the language of the native tribes in the North. So the Apaches in the south (New Mexico, Arizona ,,)had clear relation with the native indian triebes in the North. There was also clear indications in their myths and stories.
@Juan Lopez I can inform you that a Norwegian filmmaker is planning a film about the history of the Apaches in Sierra Madre. It will be a documentary film cinema and television.
OMG.. She reminds me of my grandmother. I am a descendants of Pocahontas and am Apache. I feel bad that she's alone. I know this is a old video but it hit me today like it was live. She may still be with us because indiana live very long lives. If not my soul hurts that she remained alone. I swear I would have did whatever I could to find her so she would never be alone again. My hurt is pained
Our of living and our is better because we need for grandkids i know I do same show our way my kids and grandkids they need to know I hear our grand parents way
dear elbys your not alone i am a desindent of cochise my grand mother my nana is the great cousin of cochise,so we are family i believe. p.s. reply back i wish to know about my familys history
God I love my people so much to all my grandma's and grandpa's who looked out for our generation who gave so much and suffered so much only to be victorious in the face of evil persecution.
Mangus Colorado was Cochise's father-in-law. He tried very hard to remain peaceful with the white eyes. The story of the Apache must include Mangus Colorado," the Bridge."
Yes you are correct, Cochise was married to Mangas Coloradas daughter. Victorio's daughter Dichleyhe and Mangas Coloradas son Carl Mangas had many children, the last one was a daughter named Lillian Mangas, she was my great grandmother.
@@ewellfossum that would make you Apache royalty, for sure. Without being too specific, do you mind telling where you grew up, and a little about your life?
@@johndunn9819 I live on the Mescalero Apache reservation in NM. Lillian Mangas had a daughter named Evelyn Martine, she was the last Chiricahua Apache born in US captivity in 1912. Grandma Evelyn's grandfather was US Chiricahua Apache scout Charles Martine Sr, who helped Lt. Gatewood and cousin Kayitah find Naiche and Geronimo the last time in 1886. My mother's dad was the grandson of US Chiricahua Apache scout Paul Guydelkon Sr. That makes my mother on the census a 4/4ths Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache, she but 1 of a handful full blood Chiricahua Apache left.
Read a book from Ruth Boyer and Narcissus Gayton titled, "Apache Mothers and Daughters", it tells of my family from the 1800s up till close to present day. Ivora is my mother, and it says in the family tree that Amos Gaines was her dad, but that was not right, I dis a DNA test between her and Mason Guydelkon (her uncle) and it came out as closest relation.
Naiche protected chief Bylas and his family from being massacred by Geronimo ...she should be very proud to be of Cochise line...Taza and Naiche were honorable men...
I just found out I might be Chiricahua apache. And I say I might because my father said I am but I'm not sure it's 100% true I want to find out if I am but don't know how I am interested to find out if I am and if so I would like to learn the language.. Can anyone help me out I live in El Paso Texas.. Help please!!
It was a common practice to hit a student with a ruler probably till the 1960's. Very common for Hispanic kids who only spoke Spanish. My cousin in the 1950's got hit by nuns, how times have changed.
Yea that's why my great great grandparents stayed in west Texas my great grandfather said it's good to be civilized and learn the white man's ways. Wow jeeez!
Man me hearing these stories about my ancestors kills me bad , African American think they had it bad , try being the last member of your tribe , after that there no reproducing of our peoples , once your tribe is gone. There gone , and the white man feared us that bad to kill off such a beautiful race , and that’s for all my indigenous peoples.
