Geronimo is a fearless Apache Chief and warrior.
Chief Geronimo, the famous Apache Leader - known for his resistance, a fearless warrior - known the world over - more in military circles.
Even today, when there is a unique military operation - linked with our U.S. Special Forces - the secret code name " Geronimo" - means a lot to those who consider this man - one of the best in any hand-to-hand combat - a leader to be admired.
The Apache resisted because they loved their land - no strangers could tell them that was not so.
Geronimo is well known for this resistance movement, but other Apache leaders Cochise, Mangas Coloradas, and Victorio are also known.
If you are educated in issues - know your history - you will not act like a buffoon. The many politicians and others - who do not listen to their conscience - are greedy - and fail to contribute anything meaningful to this universe.

Chief Geronimo always put the interests of his people - again, the U.S. Army lacks cultural competency - much like most White Americans - who fail to comprehend whose land this is.
Chief Geronimo (Goyathlay) Apache leader and Prophet
circa 1829 - 1909
Once I moved like the wind - now - I surrender to you -
that is all. Geronimo to General Crook circa 1886.
Chief Geronimo proved to the Mexican government and soldiers that he could not be defeated. History record how Chief Geronimo and his warrior - wipe out the Mexican soldiers.
Geronimo avenged the murder of his wife.
The U.S. Army tried their best - hiring the best scouts - but could not capture Geronimo.
Again and again, the U.S. government using the U.S. Army - tried to hoodwink Geronimo to surrender - Geronimo would disagree.
In the end, a deal was made to move the Geronimo and this tribe to Florida. This plan was botched - instead of the train and barges - many had to walk - and these trials and tribulations are - recorded by history.
We know Geronimo converted to Christianity - and died at Fort Still in 1909.
Paradoxically we know Geronimo was a medicine man and prophet of the Chiricahua.
He understood well - has he aged - that not all of those he met hated him - many admired him - he had copied off his photograph and sold them.
He rode with some scouts at some to the gathering - where those who admired him shook hands with him. All his all, he had a good ride - when he died - many wept more than those he helped - not only his Apache tribe - but many of the scouts who respected him.
Apache Leader
We are in the year 2022, and still, those in power fail to understand who are indeed the owners of this land- Turtle Island.
Millions of acres were stolen - those who lived here for over 23,000 have not been compensated.
Thousands were murdered, millions moved from their ancestral homes - and to make matters worse - the Department of Interior and the many minions and lackeys - do not accept tribes who once lived on their ancestral land and were removed.
Many had no choice - killed or forced to go into hiding.
