We had the printing company make the prints 16" by 20" so the consumer can easily and inexpensively find a frame (compared to odd sized frames that may need to be custom made) to match their decor. The print is on heavy gauge paper that is made to resemble an actual canvas. Neil Munn, a high school friend of mine, did the original painting (which we have here) and we are the only business that have the prints. I gave Neil the first 50 prints of 900 made and they come signed and numbered on the back. The oil painting is not for sale at this time, but is 17" by 21" and is signed Neil Munn in the lower left and Neil has added Naiche's hallmark signature in the lower right. Naiche was well known for his own art.

This is the second painting by Neil Munn of Naiche, the last hereditary chief of the Chiricahua Apache Tribe.  Naiche was born into the Chokonen band of Chiricahuas Apaches around 1856-1858. He was the youngest son of Chief Cochise. Taza was Naiche's full brother, both being the son's of Cochise and his wife Dos-teh-seh, daughter of Mangas Coloradas. After the sudden death of his brother Taza in 1876, he became the last chief of the "free" Chiricahuas. Naiche became chief of the Chokonen upon the death of Cochise in 1874, a position for which he had not been trained. Initially peaceful and co-operative with the whites, from 1881 onwards he was associated with Geronimo in a number of breakouts from the reservation. After his final surrender in 1886, he was a prisoner of war until 1913, in Florida, Alabama and finally at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He spent his last years on the Mescalero reservation in New Mexico and died in 1919. He rode with Geronimo, had three wives at one time, and father of fifteen children. He was considered a great warrior, crack shot, gifted artist and in his later years to conform with the demands of the Anglo became a Christian.

  The oil painting is not for sale at this time, but is 17" by 21" and is signed Neil Munn in the lower left and Neil has added Naiche's hallmark signature in the lower right. Naiche was well known for his own art.
