    Geronimo — whose given name was Goyaałé or Goyathlay, meaning “the one who yawns” — was born in No-Doyohn Canyon in June 1829. The canyon was then part of Mexico but is now near where Arizona and New Mexico meet. Before the Bedonkohe leader led the Apaches to defend their homeland against the encroaching United States, Geronimo was a mere child bor...

While the men would go into town during the day to trade with the locals, the women and children would stay at the camp while a few men stood guard. But one d...

When inevitable surrender (or death) loomed, Geronimo displayed a sense of character that has long since defined his...

    Geronimo quickly became a celebrity of the Apache Wars, as Anglo-Americans saw Natives like him as nothing more than a savage or a shackled ape — something to make money off of. His involuntary career as an item on display began in 1898 when he made an appearance at the Trans-Mississippi and International Exhibition in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1904, he ...

    Geronimo hoped to convince President Theodore Roosevelt to let him and the Apaches return home to the Southwest. He had even converted to the Dutch Reformed Church — Roosevelt’s church — in 1903 to get on his good side. And though he did attend the president’s second inauguration in 1905, and met with the president afterward, he was denied the requ...
