About the Fort Sill Chiricahua Apache
The Chiricahua was a band of Apaches that lived in southwestern New Mexico and
southeastern Arizona. They had family ties to Geronimo. The group was the last
to surrender in the Apache Indian wars, and its members were sent to Florida as
prisoners of war. Later they settled at the Fort Sill military reservation in
Oklahoma.
