The Mystery Of Geronimo’s Missing Skull — And The DNA Test That Could Finally Reveal The Truth
The prisoner-of-war status of the Fort Sill Apache is a specific historical category that matters.
These were not people who had been convicted of crimes.
They were people who had been designated as military prisoners because of their ethnic identity — because they were Chiricahua Apache — and held under military authority at Fort Sill for twenty-seven years, from 1894 to 1913.
During those years, they established communities, built houses, farmed, and attempted to maintain their cultural practices under the constraints of military supervision.
They also died in significant numbers: the Fort Sill Apache prisoners buried at the Apache Village cemetery represent people who died in government captivity far from their homeland.
