This is a collection of words, photos and video segments.., about Nantan K’uuch’ish’ Grandfather/Chief Cochise, A great Chiricahua Apache Leader, War Chief & Visionary.. .. of the Chokonen Band. There is also a complimentary video, with “quotes“ from Chief Cochise..., in this channel. ------------------------------- Cochise (Cheis or A-da-tli-chi) in Apache K’uu-ch’ish “oak“; c. 1805 – June 8, 1874) was leader of the Chihuicahui local group of the Chokonen (“central Chiricahua) and Principal Chief (or Nantan) of the Chokonen band of the Chiricahua Apache. A key war leader during the Apache Wars, he led an uprising against the U.S. government which began in 1861, and persisted until a peace treaty in 1872. Cochise County, Arizona is named after him. Cochise (or “Cheis“) was one of the most noted Apache leaders (along with Chiefs Geronimo and Mangas Coloradas) to resist intrusions by European Americans during the 19th century. He was described as a large man (for the time), with a muscular frame, classical features, and long black hair, which he wore in traditional Apache style. He was about six feet tall and weighed about 175 pounds. In his own language, his name Cheis meant “having the quality or strength of oak.“.. and was also defined as “iron wood“, by some people. - / / NativeLanguagesorg --------------------------------------------------- I claim no ownership of any of the clips, video, music and words expressed in this employ my borrowing of them with much respect and thanks.
