Lozen was a female warrior of the Chiricahua Apaches (known also as the Members or Warm Springs Apache) who lived during the 19th century. Her exact date of birth is unknown but it is speculated that she was born in the mid to late 1840s. She was known for her bravery and success as a warrior and for her skill as a military strategist, spiritual leader, and medicine woman. Her personal name is no longer known, Lozen being a title given to those who steal horses during a raid in the Apache tribe. In 1877, after her people had been forced onto a reservation, Lozen led a successful effort to escape to their homeland, however two years later they were captured once more and sent to another reservation, where Lozen, her brother and their band of warriors continued to fight against their oppressors. In 1880, after the death of her brother, Lozen participated in raids across New Mexico and Arizona to avenge him. After a war chief that she had joined up with was forced to surrender to the Americans in 1886, Lozen and her warriors were sent to Alabama, where Luzon is said to have died from tuberculosis three years later.
