Who was the last confederate commander to surrender thus bringing the civil war to the end?

The last regular army Confederate general to surrender was Lt. Gen. E. Kirby Smith on May 26th 1865. He then fled to Mexico with some 2000 of his troops. Cherokee Chief Stand Waitie who was aligned with the Confederate army did not surrender his force of warriors from various Indian tribes until June 23rd 1865. As Waitie was commissioned a brigadier general in the Confederate Army, he can be said to be the last Confederate general to surrender; however, Waitie did not command a Confederate army but rather a coalition of native American irregulars aligned with but not a part of the Confederate Armed Forces.

What kind of drilling did Native Americans in the Confederate army receive?

The US's District of Indian Territory became a modest area for recruiting by the Confederacy. Many Native Americans saw Washington DC as their enemy and the South had a degree of success in finding recruits among the Native American population. They required additional attention in drilling and in September of 1864, Confederate Major General Samuel B. Maxey instituted a training regimen for them. It should be noted that the Union saw that Native American service in the Rebel army deserved special treatment. This "treatment" was severe and close to genocidal in nature.
