World History Encyclopedia<p>Geronimo (Goyahkla, l. c. 1829-1909) was a medicine man and war chief of the Bedonkohe tribe of the Chiricahua Apache nation, best known for his resistance against the encroachment of Mexican and Euro-American settlers and armed forces into Apache territory and as one of the last Native American leaders to surrender to the United States government. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Geronimo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geronimo</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Apache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apache</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ApacheWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ApacheWars</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HistoryFact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryFact</span></a> <a href="https://whe.to/ci/1-23956-en/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">whe.to/ci/1-23956-en/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

The Arapaho Chief, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrettyNose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrettyNose</span></a>, fought there, too. She lived to be 101 years old and her grandson served in the Korean War as a U.S. Marine and later an Arapaho chief, just like his grandmother. </p><p>"Lozen (c. 1840-June 17, 1889) was a female warrior and prophet of the Chihenne Chiricahua <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apache</span></a> who fought beside <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Geronimo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geronimo</span></a>. She was the sister of Victorio, a prominent chief. Born into the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Chihenne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chihenne</span></a> band during the 1840s, Lozen was, according to legends, able to use her powers in battle to learn the movements of the enemy. The Apache tribesman, scholar and author, James Kaywaykla, was a child during the fighting days of Geronimo, Lozen and Victorio. Kaywaykla wrote, as a child:</p><p>"'I saw a magnificent woman on a beautiful horse—Lozen, sister of Victorio. Lozen the woman warrior! High above her head she held her rifle. 'She could ride, shoot, and fight like a man, and I think she had more ability in planning military strategy than did Victorio.'</p><p>"He added that Chief Victorio honored his sister as a great warrior: "Lozen is my right hand ... strong as a man, braver than most, and cunning in strategy. Lozen is a shield to her people."</p><p>Lozen fought beside Geronimo after his breakout from the San Carlos reservation in 1885, in the last campaign of the Apache wars. The band was pursued relentlessly by both the U.S. and Mexican cavalries. According to Alexander B. Adams in his book Geronimo, Lozen would try to ascertain where the enemy was by standing 'with her arms outstretched, chant a prayer to Ussen, the Apaches' supreme deity, and slowly turn around.' The band often relied on her strategic prowess.</p><p>"In 1885, Geronimo and about 140 of his followers, including Lozen, fled the reservation when they heard rumors that they were to be imprisoned on Alcatraz Island. Lozen and another female warrior, Dahteste, were designated to try to negotiate a peace treaty. Ultimately, after Geronimo's final surrender, Lozen traveled as a prisoner of war to the barracks in Mount Vernon, Alabama. There, along with many of her fellow warriors, Lozen died in confinement of tuberculosis in 1889. </p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dahteste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dahteste</span></a> was a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mescalero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mescalero</span></a> Apache warrior who rode with Lozen. Dahteste was fluent in English and often acted as a translator for the Apache people and was designated to lead in treaty negotiations with the American and Mexican armies. When Geronimo surrendered, she was arrested alongside Geronimo and Lozen, but was shipped to St. Augustine, Florida, rather than the barracks in Alabama. Nevertheless, like other prisoners in Florida, she contracted tuberculosis and pneumonia, but managed to survive both.
