Native American spiritual leader during Apache Wars. Nakaidoklini was a powerful Apache medicine man. He preached and taught a new belief and ceremonial warrior dance in the attempt to bring dead Apache chiefs to life and assisting the Native American cause to rid them of the white intrusion. His new religious practic, which was an incorporation of the ancient circle dance from prehistoric times, may have been a precursor to the Ghost Dance credited to the Nevada Paiute leader, Wovoka, 1889.
The white and Mexican settlers felt threatened by Nakaidoklini's new religious preaching and the 6th U.S. Calvary from Fort Apache was sent to arrest him. After being arrested at his village earlier on the day of August 30th, 1881, in the dark of night the Battle of Cibuque Creek ensued when his followers tried to rescue him, and Nakaidoklini was killed along with others on both sides of the cause.
The whites called Nakaidoklini by many names: Freckled Mexican Matthews, Babbyduclone, Nakydoklunni, Barbudeclenny, Nock-ay-Delklinne, Bobby-dok-linny and more.
