Geronimo — 2007

Geronimo (c.1829 - 1909), To the Apaches, Geronimo embodied the very essence of the Apache values, agressiveness, courage in the face of difficulty. These qualities inspired fear in the settlers of Arizona and New Mexico.  Geronimo was a skilled guerilla fighter with a strong enmity toward whites and a fierce loyalty to his people and commitment to freedom. In 1876, when the US Army forced Geronimo’s people to move to New Mexico, Geronimo led a group to Mexico to conduct a brief campaign of sorties into the United States. Geronimo is said to have had magical powers. He could see into the future, walk without creating footprints and even hold off the dawn to protect his own.
