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.
Geronimo was the chief and medicine man of the Chiricahua Apaches, a tribe in what is now New Mexico state.
Geronimo was really named Goyaałé and he was a medicine man or shaman of the Bedonkohe Apaches (part of the eastern Chiricahua tribe).
Geronimo belonged to the Native American Apache Indian tribe.
