Nachez succeeded his father and older brother as leader of his tribe, the last chief of the free Chiricahua. For several years he lived at peace with the whites, but later joined up with Geronimo in attempts to break out of the reservation. He was captured in 1886 and spent most of his remaining years, like Geronimo, imprisoned, before finally being allowed to return to a reservation in New Mexico. $1,250.
