Braves chase pa all over (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apaches

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'braves' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'chase pa all over' is the wordplay.
'all over' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chase'+'pa'='chasepa'
'chasepa' is an anagram of 'APACHES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apaches that I've seen before include "Native Americans" , "Indians" .)
