Cochise's people (6)
I believe the answer is:
apache
'cochise's people' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for apache that I've seen before include "nickname of US State" , "settler in Oklahoma?" , "A native N. American people" , "Parisian ruffian - Indian" , "Parisian gangster" .)
