Eskiminzin
(1837-1920)

Chief of the Aravaipa Apaches of south-central Arizona, Eskiminzin made a treaty with Lieutenant Royal Whitman to allow his people to stay near Camp Grant instead of relocating to the main Apache reservation in the White Mountains. The anglo and hispanic citizens of nearby Tucson blamed Eskiminzin's band for a series of livestock raids, and organized a vigilante force which resulted in the Camp Grant Massacre.
