Although Apache leaders did not inherit their positions, but rather earned them by demonstrating their abilities and influencing others, the son of a great chief was treated specially and had a good chance to become a leader himself.
When Cochise was about 4 days old (a magic number to the Apaches), a shaman, or Medicine Man, would have constructed a special cradle for him known as a "tosch" and attached a bag of pollen or the claw of a hummingbird to protect him from evil forces.
The Apaches were taught that "counting coup" or stealing stealthily, was a better way to let your enemies know that you had the upper hand, rather than killing which would no doubt lead to retaliation and more bloodshed.

 Apache
Interestingly, the Apache people actually called themselves the Dine meaning the People, but by other nations they were called the Apache, which is Zuni for “enemy”.  They became fierce fighters; they traveled in small bands and became great hunters of buffalo, deer, lizards, and just about any other plains and desert animals.
This treaty would place the Apaches on an Arizona reservation leaving only small bands of Apache raiders to defend their territory.  The Apache raiders were led by Chief Geronimo, who was considered the last great chief of the Apache nation.  He and his raiders, terrorized the Southwest until they were finally captured in 1886.
The Apache culture is similar to the Navaho Nation due to their shared family line.  The center of their culture is self-importance.  Because of this self-importance, raiding was not only encouraged but was enjoyed.

 Apache
Apache centres on issues of tribal identification, the warrior state and individualism as Aldrich turns his attention to the capitulation of the American Indian to the domination of the white settlers.
His mad dash through the tense surrender of the Apache Chief functions as both protest and death wish; a refusal to accept the death of his culture, and a desire to die along with it.
By its conclusion, it's clear that Apache recognises and celebrates the worth and value in a distinct, individualised state, a place free from the oppression of white culture and the shame of the capitulation of Geronimo and the once noble Apache tribe.
