Geronimo of the Chiricahua Apaches was the leader. He was not a chief, but was very skilled at the raiding and retaliation style of living, which served the economics of the Apaches. Before the Americans came, there had been years of fighting with the Mexicans. Apache life was not well suited to the confines of the reservation and, at the time, the Indians were shorted food provided by the government.

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.
