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.

Actually, they did live at some forts . At Ft. Laramie they were housed in concentration camp type conditions. The Dakota Sioux were accused of attacking a homesteader family and killing them, so the army rounded up 300 Sioux and took them to the fort. There, they were kept and set to be hung, but Lincoln stepped in and stopped the hanging of 300 braves. They did hang 30 of the Sioux men on December 24, 1861. This is the largest mass hanging in US history. There are pictures online of the hanging and recently a book has been published on the event. Native American scouts also lived at Ft.
