Geronimo was called that by the Mexican soldiers for St Jerome. So many battles & he came out unscathed. Tough landscape in that region, as are those who live in the mountains there. I lived near Ft. Huachuca a US Calvary post there in '67-68. I learned of him & a contemporary of his Cochese who was the Chief of the Chirracaua tribe also hunted by the US & Mexico. But both of them were evasive & kept the Soldiers at bay. Like anyone they only wanted their freedom & to keep the lands that had been theirs for a very long time, many generations !

[@curtismes]

Geronimo was Cochises brother in law...he also interpreted for Cochise during his negotiations with General Oliver O Howard in 1872 and the verbal peace treaty kept until 1874 when Cochise died from stomach cancer.....his sons Taza and Naiche fought and killed their uncles Poinsenay and Skinyeh whom advocated for open war after Cochises death....Geronimo influenced Naiche to war after Tazas death in Washington DC in 1876...and btw the Apache were kicked out of Texas by the Comanche in the 1700s and fled to New Mexico and Arizona...

Yes, listening to part of this story, i am imagining that it was just a few years before my beloved grandfather was born. And thinking that he was alive and perhaps conscious of Geronimo when he was alive. You are so right though, we have lost so much, the real 'virus' of greed has swallowed so many of 'white man'

[@cravinbob]

One dependent on "money"? And many and varied skills such as building, railroads, firearms, ship building, surveying, navigation... The other as of 1900 still living in the Stone Age, killing mules as they saw no use for them. I just flipped your way of thinking upside down. Indians were not heroes or "at one with nature"...

my maternal grandfather was in the us army at ft. sill when geronimo was there. when he died they asked for a volunteer to stand guard, be the honor guard, until the burial. nobody would volunteer. someone suggested grandad. "let wyatt do it. he's married to one of them. " grandma was cherokee. they asked and he said, ok. he stood there by the coffin all that night , to keep the apaches from coming and stealing the body , to bury it in secret. the next morning he marched in the procession to the gravesite. they asked him wasn't he scared? of WHAT? he was DEAD! well, a few years ago just before the 100th anniversary of his death i got the idea to call ft. sill and ask if they were going to do anything to commemmorate. i told the lady at civil affairs the story. she said "there is somebody here who wants to talk to you!" she put on a fellow who was in charge of the organizing. seems he had been unable to find the name of the honor guard. nobody bothered to write it down. a 100 year old mystery solved. he invited me to come for the event. but the apaches and the government got into an argument over something and it was called off. one of geronimo's grandsons was still alive and would have been there. i would have gotten to meet him. once an uncle had thought he would treat the old man to a movie . took him to the theatre to see a geronimo movie. of course it was a big white guy. grandad felt indignation. he got up and called them frauds. he didn't look anything like the guy on the screen! walked out. said at least they could have found an indian actor . we have a hand painted photograph of steven j. wyatt, us army horse artillery , in his dress blues, taken at about the time of geronimo's passing.

I once heard that Geronimo got his name when during a fierce attack on a Mexican settlement, the inhabitants were so terrorized they began calling out to their patron saint, San Geronimo! San Geronimo! The name then stuck to the Apache, who we know as Geronimo.

What a beautiful story the first part of Geronimo growing up life. What a blessed nation. They had everything they needed, food and shelter, and they gave all their thanks for everything, to God. Without even reading a Bible, they had the intelligence to know there was a big spirit, in the sky, who made this beautiful world, and who made us. I'm at a loss of words to say how I feel about the treatment of the Indians, just that they got a very raw deal. They even were taking better care of the land, than is done now. I just wished they could have kept the land they wanted, and everyone else just moved around them. That was like a visitor comes as a guest, but kick the homeower out. Always with that selfish, "Mine, mine, mine", or "I want that so I take it". Sounds like a spoiled brat. All I can say is, "I'm sorry, to Indian Nation". God still have your nation in high regard, because the blood of your people, on this land, cries out to Him. Keep passing your culture on to your children. It's a beautiful culture, and will not be forgotten.

[@ghostdance56]

You're out of your freakin mind. There was little nobility in the stone age, certainly not more than modern civilization. They routinely slaughtered each other and stole lands and possessions from each other. The freakin Aztecs and Mayans routinely sacrificed babies and young girls by cutting their still beating hearts out of their chests and tossing them off pyramids. And NONE of them owned an entire continent by the way. Their raw deal came from putting their care and welfare under 'government' maternalism, which is what democrats are STILL trying to do with all of us, by advancing the SAME first step they used with Indians, and thats "give us all your guns". The worst atrocities of humankind were all committed by 'governments', say no to socialism.

My heart is cut and sad and some what mad over the treatment of this great man/ warriors. I wish that I could have been alive and that time and could have been a great friend of the Apache people and my voice would surely spoken out for the Apache just maybe there would or could have been a better way to achieve peace but I'm sure just as it is today that greed still has the same heart and face as the white man. HOWEVER most have came away from their ways. I don't know but one Mexican he was a good man I have known a few native Americans and they also were good people but know many white people and they are good people so I'll believe the words of Geronimo cause today's ways of life won't let me judge those days but I will say that the Indian Nation was misjudged and deceived by a few people not the majority I can't judge the whole over them May some day we all can live in peace.

The Guadalupe Mountains must have a lot of history for the Apache. The area seems to have many mysteries and when I camped in the wilderness area, a strange sighting occurred. I would like to find someone else that knows something about that area

[@TheAlhambralions]

What people don't understand is that when Geronimo says that he hated the Mexicans he meant the white Spaniards who ruled Mexico under spain, the criollo. And not the mexican mestizos of today. In actuality Geronimo had mestizos in his tribe. When on raids into mexico they would sometimes take mestizos or other mexican indian and absorb them into his tribe. The spanish early contacts with the Apache were friendly, but in the 17th century, the relationship between Spaniard and Apache deteriorated because of slave raids by the Spaniards and Apache attacks on the Spanish and Pueblo settlements in New Mexico.The Spanish then started building forts or presidios all on their northern frontier and joined allied Indians in fighting the Apache. Geronimo hated the white man probably even more than the spanish mexicans. The white man killed his people's way of life a lot faster than the mexicans could have. Forced him to become a sideshow attraction rather than the brave man that he was.

[@curtismes]

uh no...he hated Mexicans...all Mexicans...The white man simply ran down a criminal...the Mexicans killed and enslaved them, and often sold them into slavery for prostitution...read a book sometime...after Colonel Lorenzo Garcia defeated Juh and slaughtered his band they never recovered...they were sold into sexual slavery in Guaymas...the American soldiers under Forsythe tried to forbid this but were overruled as they were in Mexico...Geronimo in his own words states that he hated Mexicans most of all...and by the end Geronimo wasn't brave, he was simply a murderer of women and children in the guise freedom.

@3:44:54 In December 2014, President Barack Obama signed the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act, which would give land sacred to the Apache in Arizona to Resolution Copper Mine [RCM], a joint venture owned by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. The Act cleared the way for the land swap in which Resolution Copper would receive 2,422 acres of National Forest land in exchange for deeding to the federal government 5,344 acres of private land. The mine would destroy an area set aside in 1955 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower that is sacred to the San Carlos Apache. The land contains more than 2,400 acres of the Oak Flat Campground, an area dotted with petroglyphs and historic and prehistoric sites. Said former San Carlos Apache tribal chairman Wendsler Nosie Sr. of the Act's attached rider: "This is Congressional politics at its worse, a hidden agenda that destroys human rights and religious rights."
