Chiricahua Apache medicine man with his family

Here we see a Chiricahua Apache medicine man with his family, posed at the entrance of their brush wickiup in the 1880s. When the Spanish first explored America, the nomadic Chiricahua tribe lived in what is now the southwest of the U.S. and the north of Mexico. European settlers ultimately pushed the indigenous people out, however, and the Chiricahua eventually ended up on reservations in New Mexico and Arizona. Photo Credit: A. Frank Randall
