Mangas Coloradas, or Dasoda-hae (c.1793 – January 18, 1863), was an Apache tribal chief and a member of the Eastern Chiricahua nation, whose homeland stretched west from the Rio Grande to include most of what is present-day southwestern New Mexico. He was the father-in-law of Chief Cochise and is regarded by many historians to be one of the most important native American leaders of the 19th century due to his fighting achievements against Mexicans and Americans. The name Mangas Coloradas was given to him by Mexicans and is Spanish for Coloured Sleeves. There are no known photographs of Mangas Coloradas, though one of his sons, Mangus, was photographed and is from time to time mistakingly identified as Mangas Coloradas.
