Apaches experience on the reservation
The U.S. Government took the Apache Indians from their homes and put them on reservations. The U.S. Army sent Indian scouts to go find the Apache Indians and negotiate a peace treaty, but that involved moving/being relocated to Tularosa, New Mexico, so Cochise refused.
He hated the reservation life declaring his people desire to run around like a coyote not put in a corral. Later President Ulysses Grant sent a Peace commission to Arizona. He set up a reservation system to keep Indian people safe. Many people in Arizona feared and hated Indians and there were many conflicts, Cochise was able to negotiate with the army to move His people to a reservation along the Apache Pass and the Dragoon Mountains in Arizona and they committed to help keep peace along the path between Indians and non-Indians, and it continued up until the death of Cochise in 1874.
They were never happy because they were not used to staying in one place, they moved around with the seasons.
