Cochise and Geronimo were indeed contemporaries, but they belonged to two slightly different generations among the Apaches. Dates • Cochise: c. 1810 – 1874 • Geronimo: 1829 – 1909 Therefore, Geronimo was about 20 years younger than Cochise. Their relationship • Cochise was a great and highly respected chief of the Chiricahua Apaches. • Geronimo also belonged to the Chiricahua, but he was not a chief: he was primarily a war chief and a shaman. • During Cochise's lifetime, Geronimo was already an Apache warrior, but less renowned. After Cochise's Death When Cochise died in 1874, the Apache resistance continued, and Geronimo became one of the major figures in the fight against the American and Mexican armies until his surrender in 1886.
