In the 19th century, the Chiricahua, a collection of bands of Apaches who primarily lived in what is now New Mexico, Arizona, and northern Mexico, resisted American government rule. The remaining holdouts, including Geronimo and Cochise’s son Naiche, surrendered to U.S. troops in 1886 on one condition: that after an imprisonment of two years they would be returned to their homeland. Instead, the Chiricahua were held in jails across Florida, Alabama, and Oklahoma for nearly 30 years. In 1914, surviving members were released and given land in and around Fort Sill, Oklahoma. A century later, the Heard Museum is commemorating the Chiricahua’s legacy of survival with an exhibition of artwork by the Houser/Haozous family — a prominent Chiricahua artist clan whose sculptures and paintings pay tribute to their people’s shared experience.
