List 500 POW

[naiches2]

The so called “List 500” is a part of a big project that is aimed to define social and political ties between the Chiricahuas at the moment when it was exiled from Arizona to Florida in 1886 and during its imprisonment (1886-1913).

By the beginning of the 80s in the 19th century, the social and political organization Chiricahua was going through a fundamental change due to continued war, changes in the economy and nomadic cycle and because of their living in the reservation. Thus, by 1885 the tribe was divided in groups of “peace” and “war”, plus those who were left in the middle. Groups of “peace” and “war” got radicalized, which caused infighting, leading up to battles and murders. Military and civil authorities of Arizona, that ruled the Apache reservation, couldn’t be unaware of the situation, but preferred not to pay any attention.
The experts of the Apache psychology, such as General Crook, tried to undermine the influence of the old chiefs and defined their own scouts as leaders, but that only destroyed the traditional society.
After the rebellion in May, 1885 some Apaches escaped from the reservation, the others hunted for them along with the regular army soldiers. If during the Victorio's war in 1879-1880 the officers weren’t sure of the scouts’ loyalty, two attacks of the scouts on "hostilies" during Geronimo Campaign (June 23 and August 7, 1885) proved the profound crisis that reigned in the political organization of Chiricahua at the moment.
Even bigger psychological strike was when the peaceful Apaches were exiled from San Carlos reservation in to Florida. They blamed the group of “war” for it, and the latter, on the other hand, blamed the group of “peace” for helping the soldiers in killing their tribesmen. But anyway they had to find common language. Being in a foreign place, surrounded by the English-speaking population, Chiricahua formed an isolated community. Usually they married someone inside their tribe, making new conditions for their social structure. The blood relations won. Warriors and scouts forgot their controversies and learned to coexist and to deal with their captives.

The definition of the Chiricahua’s names in Florida came out to be difficult, as those who arrived from Arizona weren't registered. Also, a lot of Apaches died in the first years of their exile. While living in Florida and Alabama Apaches buried their relatives secretly from the white population. Besides, the existing taboo on pronouncing the names impedes the researches. The list of the Carlisle students could have incluses non-Chiricahua Apache Indians. Some of them also changed their names to the English manner.

The migration process of the Chiricahua had 5 stages
1. the group of the chief Chihuahua
2. the group of Naiche and Geronimo
3. the group from San Carlos
4. the Washington Delegation
5. the group of Mangas

It got possible to name all the delegates from Washington, only adult tribesmen are known from the group of Mangas, the majority of names of the group Geronimo, adult men and some of women from the Chihuahua group were also discovered. A lot of mysteries surrounds the large group from the San Carlos reservation. As it was usual in the American history, only the names of the enemies were written down. Those who wanted to survive, left unknown.

While making “The List 500” I used the following resources:
United States Federal Census Record 1900
United States Federal Census Record 1910
U.S. Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914
Beef Creek Apache Cemetery (Comanche County, Oklahoma)
Mescalero Cementry (Whitetail Cemetery, Otero County, New Mexico)
Carlisle Industrial School List and Choate Photos of Carlisle Indian School (in the Photo Archives of the Cumberland County Historical Society).
My special thanks to Mithlo and Penjady who kindly provided information on some personalities.

My list, of course, is not full, there can be mistakes and repetitions, as the names of little-known people were put down in different manners. Nevertheless, I think this work is only the first step in discovering the names of those who died in the catastrophic migration and those who survived the 28 years of exile.

Anyone interested is welcome to the open discussion!

Very good work, my friend! =D

It will be very tough to find anything (at least online) about the women and the children that did not go to Carlisle. On some days it saddens me that a lot of information is buried in U.S. archives, nearly forgotten. Now and then I suddenly come over something of interest online, but 99% of it is written down on old, yellowed paper, resting in some university archive.

By the way, I think Knox Nostlin was the man that was identified as No'-stle in the 1886 delegation. Compare the Carlisle photographs of Knox with the Washington image.

[jasper4]

Very Good Work my kudos to you and if Mithlo had input I know it is worthwhile. Yet as Kayitah states on other info on the women and children it is hard and sad. I will say one instance of the INDE whom went to the santa clara peeps when the ojo claiente rez was closed, and the lists which reside in old mexico which have records on the captured group of Biduyah. I made visits back in the 1970's into old mexico Janos and other cities alas these days one travels there at a high risk, that is a shame. But again good work

[coeurrouge]

Very Good work, Naiche!
I think some born dates are wrong. Chihuahua and Kutli seemed to be borned more earlier than written on the list. (Chihuahua around 1830-1835 and Kutli around 1835-1845).
But your list is a good start to work on it.

I agree, but nevertheless very good work!

Chihuahua seems older than his brother Ulzana, even though some sources claim that Ulzana is older. He looks much younger than Chihuahua on all photographs.

I also think that Yahnozha was born in the early 1860s or mid to late 1850s, since he was Kanseah's "mentor" during the Geronimo Campaign. Chato was probably also a couple years older, around 35-40 in 1886. Kayitah was about the same age as Martine, maybe a few years older, so I think your birthdate of 1856 is about right.

[naiches2]

Thank you very much to all of you guys for you warm words!

Chihuahua is a my special interest and I'm thinking he was about 40-45 in 1886.
Colle was looks very young guy in 1876 (see photo) - about 22 years old.

Age of Yahnozha is my misprint, Kayitah is right!

Almost all data on age were taken by me from the Federal Census Record's lists and from Register of Enlistments.

[hreinn]

Good luck with this ambitious project.
Which is in the same spirit as the "A 144 challenge".
It is admirable to see how the Apache sector of this website is active.

It is a classical subject when one society is attacked, whether to resist or cooperate with the invader, i.e. to be independent or not.
It will be interesting to see the result of this project and see the social and political background of those two factions.

Great job Naiches! Your estimate of Chihuahua being in his early 40s in 1886 fits well with Daklugie's statement that Chihuahua was a very young chief when Cochise was old (early 1870's)... certainly not the usual given year of birth being 1822. According to Sweeney Cathla was one of Cochise's 'captains' so I guess he would at least be about the same age as Chihuahua and Taza at that time...
Again, well done... it would be great to find as much matching images with the names as possible...

Some new names from‘Apache Mothers and Daughters’ by Ruth McDonald Boyer,Narcissus Duffy Gayton. Cit. pages 111-112.
“In 1895 the transfer took place.
Just prior to the official departure some 30 Apaches avoided clutches of the military and made their way back to New Mexico where they joined the Mescalero Indians.
A partial list follows:
There were the Choneskas. His Indian name was Chu-gan-essan.
There were the Seconds. Old Man Second’s name was Itsan-itsan.
There were Old Lady Peso (In 1912 Peso’s wife was Na-goo-na-ko-ten, b 1859), Old Lady Magoosh (In 1912 Magoosh’s wife was Ja-kad-e-cho-den, b 1859), and Hattie Gonzales’s (January 1, 1903 –April 1979) mother, Be-ha-gust-huzn. Hattie’s mother’s name means “a person getting whipped with it.” It seems she married a Mescalero man, Poxmark (b 1847. In 1912 Poxmark’s wife was Cho-ka-ne, b 1862).
Among men were Old Man Ecludi (E-cl-de, b 1852), Elmer Wilson (Bil-le-co, b 1873), Charlie Smith, and Jim Miller, known as Chiricahua Jim.”

Very interesting citation from Sweeney From Cochise to Geronimo, p.424-425:
"A dozen Chokonens, ten women and children from Naiche's band who had left reservation on May 28, 1885 with two warriors sent by Naiche... The militia spotted the Chiricahuas, who at once reversed direction, galloping back into the Peloncillos.
During the confusion, one woman, a Chiricahua named Cah-gah-ashly, a wife of Chinche, who had left the agency wthout her, mounted her horse with a cradleboard on her back. The stap became loos, and the cradle with her nine-month-old son fell to the ground in Doubtful Canyon. The militia picked up the boy and brought him to Lordsburg...
Naiche ... traveled all night ... to the Chiricahua mountains... She [Cah-gah-ashly] returned to look for her baby. Not finding him, she eventually returned to Fort Apache."
