What does Naiche mean in Apache?
Naiche was a famous Apache warrior. Naiche was born into the Chokonen band of Chiricahuas around 1856. He was the second son of Cochise and Dos-teh-seh, Cochise's first and principal wife. His older brother, Taza, was Chief for two years before he died of pneumonia during his visit to Washington, DC, as a delegate. In 1876 Naiche was made the last Chief of the free Chiricahuas. In 1881 he and his band fled the San Carlos reservation and allied themselves with Geronimo (aka Goyathalay... goyathalay means "one who yawns" in Apache, and is Geronimo's true name.) Unlike other Chiricahua chiefs, Naiche had no power of any kind and never had any visions. His partnership with Geronimo allowed for Naiche to give the orders but for Geronimo to be the strategist and the intellectual and spiritual leader of the Chiricahuas. Naiche's band surrendered for the last time on September 4, 1886. While on the military reservation at Fort Sill, Naiche was converted to Protestantism and he became an elder of the Mescalero Reformed Church on the Mescalero Reservation. During his later years, he painted scenes from Apache life, including the Sunrise Dance, on deerskin. He died in 1921.

Southwestern Indian tribe led by Geronimo?
Geronimo (real name Gokhlayeh) grew up as a warrior in a band of Mimbres Apaches under the leadership of chief Mangas Coloradas. Later he joined a band of Chiricahuas under the leadership of Cochise. When the Chiricahuas were forced onto a reservation, Geronimo broke away several times with a small number of followers; he headed into Mexico in 1881 with just 74 others. Returning to the reservation he then left again in 1885 with 92 women and just 42 warriors; by the following year he had only 14 women and 23 warriors left. He was never considered a "chief" by the Apaches themselves, simply a successful warrior and war leader who had a very small number of followers. It was his American and Mexican enemies who described him as a chief.
