The Chiricahuas were a band of Apache Native Americans that lived in the southwest of the United States. Led by Geronimo and Cochise they were among the last to resist United States government control of the southwest. They finally surrendered in 1886 and were exiled to Florida, Alabama, and Oklahoma. Eventually most were moved to the Fort Sill military reservation in Oklahoma until 1913, when they were allowed to return to what is now Arizona. Many still live in Oklahoma or in the Mescalero reservation in New Mexico.Their last stronghold was the Chiricahua Mountains, in southeastern Arizona, part of which is now inside Chiricahua National Monument .
