Wow wow wow, I have just listened to the best true story ever, thank you for this, it was my birthday yesterday and this was the best treat ever. God bless them for all they endured 🙏🏻
I'm a mixed race African American & before my grandmother died I swear she looked just like picture of Geronimo. She said her parents were Native American. Interesting. Thx for posting.
A Great People's! A Great Warrior! Fought enemy's most his life,without regard for his own,to keep others safe! it tremendous shame innocent one's that caught in the middle! Thanksyou Sue Anderson,who is reading for us,and to the channel,that putting it on!
Thank you for this wonderful story I enjoyed listening to you about a great Warrior a man of a 1000 spirits I bet chills roold down the spines of the enemies that he quarreled with .truly a legend 👏.
This is the story of a true warrior. I am happy to get a chance to learn about their lifestyle and the principles followed by them. Thanks a lot for uploading this audiobook.
A very interesting story of a fascinating man. This book is perfectly read which allowed me to become thoroughly engrossed in the life and times of Geronimo. A huge thank you to the narrator, Sue Anderson.
Part Two (27:47) is crazy! Glued to my iPhone listening in the dark. I’m saddened, mesmerized and full of excitement. His life is wild. It’s one I idolize, but would never want to live.
How enlightening to hear history from one of the ones that Made It! ThnkU for the luxury of LISTENING rather than having to inevitably get glasses! I luv ur free audio books! God Bless u!
I love them, too. I seem to retain it better listening, than reading, plus it puts a visual picture, in my mind, as I imagine the scene being read. I've been a lover of book reading, all my life, so this is not being lazy, but as you said I don't have to pull out eyeglasses that I now need to use, reading.
So glad I found this my grandfather used to tell me stories about him when I was a kid. Stories are so important in our daily life it moves us it guides us it brings us together most importantly of all we remember those who are gone they live on
I have so much respect and admiration of this man. " I, and two other warriors invaded Mexico. " don't know about y'all but I think he was talking about the whole country. Talk about going big.
@@fulltimerver2355 He was hated by the Spaniards who had ranches along the Arizona/Sonora border...the Amado, Bejarano and Elias families...because the Apaches raided the ranches..stealing horses, cattle, chickens, etc..
@@brigittebeltran6701 Geronimo killed my friend’s grandfather, grandmother, & 15 year old cousin…capture their young little boy Santiago McKinn brain washed him & he became a warrior until he was rescued.
@@lydiacabrera6251 Wow!!! Thank you Lydia for this information. I do know that he and his men fought the Spanish/Portuguese ranchers in the Santa Cruz Valley...and Anglo ranchers near the Chiricahua Mountains. Can you tell me where your family were living when this heinous attack took place? Was it near Nogales?
The final chapter is most powerful to me, especially the warriors story about the afterlife. He literally walked through the shadow of the valley of death and feared no evil.
Thank you for publishing this story, fascinating in detail although the underlying theme is as I expected. I hope the descendants of the 'Indian native' peoples are able to find ways to return to their homelands, to live in peace and to prosper.
He was a deadly enemy of all Mexicans...cuz they killed his family cowardly for selling their scalps when the warriors were not in camp! He was no hero, especially to his own folks...he was a child of his times...cruel times!!!

I'd be so proud to be the son of such a man as Geronimo! Shame and disgrace upon those who wronged him, themselves not worthy to clean out even his oldest pipe!
Sounded like there was an awful lot of wronging goin on before the white man came. He hated and killed Mexicans and other tribes. Conquest and war has been happening since man first learned to throw a rock. He admitted to having slaves. He stole, robbed and murdered. They killed each other after getting their drink on. Lots of wronging goin on back then.
Great insight on such a private matter. I could listen to the narrator's voice for hours, calm yet energetic to keep my interest. Thank you for this work.
His very name. Strikes fear into the heart of the enemy and. It. Also tells of courage. Every thing a soilder should be. A great warrior. And freedom fighter. Long live his name and the apache people,,,
Geronimo sent more than one letter (he had friends write for him), to the presidents who served while he was in captivity asking them to let him go home without reprieve.
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 !
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...
This is such a treasure trove of wisdom and insight into a courageous culture. Prayer and herbal medicines go hand in hand. Glad the war dept allowed it and Teddy too.
It’s not even close to the same thing as the taliban, the taliban commit murders and hate crimes against any who don’t believe what they believe, the Indians can argue their slaughters were justified, we stole there land and changed everything they had ever known around them with weapons they couldn’t defend against.
My friend who is Apache told me Geronimo was over six feet tall. So you only see him kneeling. A very interesting novel to read. Look For Me On the Mountain. I've held 3 Eagle feathers that were Geronimo's my friend was a keeper of the feathers 🪶
No he was pretty average height. I’m thinking five six five eight. Now mangas Coloradas and Cochise were thought to be over six foot but definitely NOT Geronimo
The Apache’s didn’t use feet in their metric system, they went by feathers, so he would be 43 feathers tall. That would be 6ft tall in today measurements.
A vicious cycle. The Apache murdered thousands of innocent Mexican settlers in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas in the 17 & 18th centuries. Mexican hate for the Apache ran deep.
Did you hear what there war parties were of before the fighting and killing for booty. We eliminate ourselves chasing vengeance oh it's so true. Study more look into life and find out who you are dont ask questions of people ask them to self

Imagine, this begins a mere160 years ago. Crazy to think how far we've advanced in technology , but how much we've lost as individual living beings. A time when there was two separate civilizations .living side by side , one dependent upon "money " while the other depended upon themselves.
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'
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"...
Geronimo left a great history as part of his legacy. The Apache were not unlike Mexicans or U.S. Blood feuding, thieves, killing and murdering. A whole lot of scalping going on.
@@cravinbobcan’t fault them for being content with their way of life. But I certainly won’t apologize for descending from a people who merely excelled at what the rest of humanity was already doing. Building. Migrating. Farming. Fighting.
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.
Wes Studi played Geronimo...Wes Studi is native American...but like all hollywood movies its sadly lacking in truth...the White Mtn Apache tribe still dislikes Geronimo ...as he caused most of the trouble the Chiricahua found themselves in....
Geronimo is my 6time generation grandfather the montes family from my grandmas side of the family Apache Charikawa is the tribe also my grandpas side of the family is Mexican and native American
Much respect and many more sympathy to a true soldier and man that demands a shiver down the spine of his enemies. But many suffered for his own hatred and loss. Causing many more to loose as much as him. No disrespect but he was selfish in getting revenge causing others to die for his own agenda.
That Winchester that he is holding in the thumbnail photo is in a collection in Middleburg Virginia..... I think it was around $80,000 25 years ago.....
The ammunition is not the same size as the lever action Winchester now. I knew someone whose grandfather was in the US Cavalry. I was surprised how small the rounds were. 😄 😁 😆 😅 😂 🤣
@@cbass8758 Yes!!! The White Mountain Apache Nation has tried for years, in vain, to recover the skull of Geronimo stolen from Ft. Sills, Oklahoma by Skull & Bones member George Bush, Sr. He was a low-life, Nazi traitor who was in on the assassination of our beloved President JFK. THE BUSH DYNASTY IS EVIL. 💀
yes I am a "college boy" and I am currently learning purhepecha and nahuatl and I am also studying mesoamerican cultures and traditions. I hope by my comments you understand that I am actually on your side and not the spaniards.
thats why humanity is in the conditions of war and scarcity , because we blame and fiht amon ourselves PRO-PEACE , LIGHT , LAUGH & BE STILL & KNOW WE ARE ONE
yea it's like something out of a movie. It's amazing that despite everything he lived until he was 80 years old! Let me remind you that the average life expectancy back then was like 50.
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.
Geronimo and Sitting Bull had so much wisdom. I am Scots-Irish and understand tyranny only too well. The treatment of a civilised nature loving proud warrior race, is a travesty in history. Maximum respect, what the Union done before and especially after "The Civil War" was a holocaust and a disgrace. To too many tribes. Especially the sioux and Apache and Commanche and anyone that helped the South in the war of States.
@@killer070911 Alba gu Brath always. Go Black Douglas on their arse. The only way we get change. Ayrshires had all flavours of alleged L-R pish. Neglected and average dead at 55. Fucking disgraceful. Id love someone to raise a army. Im in.
We Indigenous appreciate Allies like you who TRULY understand REAL history. Thank you. The Irish, Scot/Irish & Indigenous People of whatnis now the US, have long been Allies.🙂❤
@@cherb_soco1891 The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The first Scots-Irish lived and even married tribes and got on fine until French and English started trouble for their own ends.To learn the way to live by the warriors code was a gift understood. Had to be as good with a tomahawk or knife or trap than they were. For that we brought disease and greedy Men and the rest follwed. Same Federals , same blue bellies starting trouble even now. Same damn Yankee Eagle. Something else stolen from Natives. That symbolic Eagle.
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.
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.
MilkMan D in short, a full blooded Native hated mixed Natives who pretend to be part of full bloods tribes... harsh but true...besides most Mixed bloods came from raping of Native women...
Helen Kistler I am full blooded Denesuline Aka Chipewyan...I know my history plus in Canada we don’t let non natives teach our history for us because non natives tend to lie and make up things along the way..remember the first Europeans our ancestors met were the Vikings 500 years before Columbus..
The Spanish were long gone . Actually the Spanish treated the natives better than the Mexicans not because they were good but because the Franciscans demanded better treatment The mission in San Diego was the biggest wealthiest ranch in North American run by the natives When the Spanish were overthrown the Franciscans were banished to Spain the Mexicans stoled the property . The Mexican’s are who they are a very fine people who have suffered from hundreds of years of bad corrupt governments I am a Arizonan and have spent time in Mexico .
Yes, I grew up in upstate NY on Onida lake, and remember yelling Geronimo all of the time jumping into the rivers off of the railroad tracks, or the dam. Or hitting my squirrel while hunting. I did it eat a few squirrels while growing up. We were a little poor sometimes, and squirrel was better than butter and sugar sandwiches.
Can anyone tell me why, to this day, when I jump in water... doesn't matter if it's from a boat, dock, roof, cliff or ceiling fan... I SCREAM Geronimooooooooooooooooooo???
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.
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.
@@bearthalamas9241 No, it wasn't nice, on both sides, the bloodshed and loss of life. I was mostly speaking of nice, the way they originally lived. I wasn't there. I can only go by what i see, or hear happened, and in my imagination it definitely don't paint a pretty picture, about the battles.
@@ghostdance56 You just shattered your own argument with your last sentence. I swear to God it’s no wonder you clowns listen to trump like beaten dogs. Reread your first paragraph.
Interesting. Pretty much makes national distinctiveness irrelevant. He existed and was who he was despite being pegged to someone interpretation of property rights requiring a national designation by those who came after him.
My father loved Westerns. I used to watch with him as a young girl. I quickly realised i was rooting for the 'injuns', not the cowboys. I saw them to be dignified, honest, of integrity and honour. Many years later, my father died. A solicitor and accountant executed his estate, both men, who call themselves, 'honourable professionals' conspired with my half-brother to steal our inherritance. One day, i read a few sentences in a book which brought me to tears, particularly in relation to the actions of the greedy' white man' executors..... "All men, of any race or tribe are of the warrior clan in the eyes of the native American and they are charged with the honour of protecting women and children. The greatest shame comes to any warrior when the women and children under his care comes to harm in any way." The solicitor, accountant and half brother - wealthy high fee earning men stealing from vulnerable women that they have a duty of care to conjure the image of slovenly, sloppy, greasy and dirty whisky swilling slobby white men that i saw in the westerns. I think my spirit is red!!
@@808perp2 You hit the nail on the head in saying 'given awards and titles for it' - that is so true. But like you alude to too, the awards and titles are empty, when it comes to souls. The problem is that spirituality, souls and conscience and integrity seem to be lost on those who have duties and responsibilities to others. I am so sorry to hear of the pain, grief and loss to yourself, your family and your people. I do think there is evil that eats at some who are open to corruption. They pay their price. I think all that we have is the light of truth - Love to you x
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.

His very name. Strikes fear into the heart of the enemy and. It. Also tells of courage. Every thing a soilder should be. A great warrior. And freedom fighter. Long live his name and the apache people,,,
he also failed in his quest.
His name is actually only used when doing cannonballs.....

Geronimo sent more than one letter (he had friends write for him), to the presidents who served while he was in captivity asking them to let him go home without reprieve.
What an amazing man - fearless and adaptable - he died waiting for white man to honour his word. I know how that feels!

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 !
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...
Would love to visit Geronimo's lands one day... hopefully the natives are still thriving still going strong 🙏
I would love to meet them as well .👍
Thank you for being as Geronimo would be, earnest... Your voice is wonderful.
Thank you for this enlightening action-packed novel of a Native American, God bless.
Not a novel. This man was real and lived this life.
Oh thanks for the correction
This is such a treasure trove of wisdom and insight into a courageous culture. Prayer and herbal medicines go hand in hand. Glad the war dept allowed it and Teddy too.
Why don't people say that about the Taliban?? It's the same thing. 😐😐😐
MILLITARY DEPARTMENT Allowed it after several edits & redactions.
It’s not even close to the same thing as the taliban, the taliban commit murders and hate crimes against any who don’t believe what they believe, the Indians can argue their slaughters were justified, we stole there land and changed everything they had ever known around them with weapons they couldn’t defend against.
My friend who is Apache told me Geronimo was over six feet tall. So you only see him kneeling. A very interesting novel to read. Look For Me On the Mountain.
I've held 3 Eagle feathers that were
Geronimo's my friend was a keeper of the feathers 🪶
now i understand why im direferent , and the reason people se me as enemy all this years .
No he was pretty average height. I’m thinking five six five eight. Now mangas Coloradas and Cochise were thought to be over six foot but definitely NOT Geronimo
The Apache’s didn’t use feet in their metric system, they went by feathers, so he would be 43 feathers tall. That would be 6ft tall in today measurements.
Thanks for posting this. Many years ago I read the book in Polish now I have the opportunity to listen to this great story in English. Greetings.
What a legend of a man and people.
My name is Geronimo. I didn’t like my name as a kid, you should imagine why. As an adult, it’s my name for a reason. I embrace it and love it.
Great name!
so who's Gerry?
If you want to get a feel of a very small bit of how he lived then go walk around SE Arizona for a few days in the summer.
Not summer...in the autumn...in Patagonia, Sonoita and the Chiricahuas.
When I heard the reader's voice my heart sunk, for I had to struggle through her "reading" like a robot of another previous Indian related book.
wow words over words
Geronimo for President
Someday.
I’m related to Geronimo my family have men chairmen’s(chiefs) of the Apache tribe of Oklahoma for years
I can understand Geronimo's vengeance after his wife and small children were killed by the Mexicans, who wouldn't feel this way.
A vicious cycle. The Apache murdered thousands of innocent Mexican settlers in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas in the 17 & 18th centuries. Mexican hate for the Apache ran deep.
@Adrian Iron cloud
Geronimo was born on his land.
Did you hear what there war parties were of before the fighting and killing for booty. We eliminate ourselves chasing vengeance oh it's so true. Study more look into life and find out who you are dont ask questions of people ask them to self

Imagine, this begins a mere160 years ago. Crazy to think how far we've advanced in technology , but how much we've lost as individual living beings.
A time when there was two separate civilizations .living side by side , one dependent upon "money " while the other depended upon themselves.
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'
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"...
Geronimo left a great history as part of his legacy. The Apache were not unlike Mexicans or U.S. Blood feuding, thieves, killing and murdering. A whole lot of scalping going on.
@@cravinbobcan’t fault them for being content with their way of life. But I certainly won’t apologize for descending from a people who merely excelled at what the rest of humanity was already doing. Building. Migrating. Farming. Fighting.

Me too, I listened 3 times ⏲️
Excellent book.
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.
What an amazing piece of family history you have 😊🙏🏻
This is why I bother to read youtube comments. Thank you for sharing this.
Wes Studi played Geronimo...Wes Studi is native American...but like all hollywood movies its sadly lacking in truth...the White Mtn Apache tribe still dislikes Geronimo ...as he caused most of the trouble the Chiricahua found themselves in....

Much respect and many more sympathy to a true soldier and man that demands a shiver down the spine of his enemies. But many suffered for his own hatred and loss. Causing many more to loose as much as him. No disrespect but he was selfish in getting revenge causing others to die for his own agenda.

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.
TRUE!!!
It’s obviously a Spanish name . I always wondered how he got it.
That area of the Apaches was part of Spain then Mexican

Named my motorbike Geronimo, had a helluva journey with him for 2yrs.
We have not done right for these people. May I see his dreams realized in my lifetime🙏🏽
I love this,and yet very sorry, people beware because it’s happening again!
Geronimo and Sitting Bull had so much wisdom. I am Scots-Irish and understand tyranny only too well. The treatment of a civilised nature loving proud warrior race, is a travesty in history. Maximum respect, what the Union done before and especially after "The Civil War" was a holocaust and a disgrace. To too many tribes. Especially the sioux and Apache and Commanche and anyone that helped the South in the war of States.
Freedom!

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.
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.
MilkMan D in short, a full blooded Native hated mixed Natives who pretend to be part of full bloods tribes... harsh but true...besides most Mixed bloods came from raping of Native women...
Helen Kistler I am full blooded Denesuline Aka Chipewyan...I know my history plus in Canada we don’t let non natives teach our history for us because non natives tend to lie and make up things along the way..remember the first Europeans our ancestors met were the Vikings 500 years before Columbus..
@@dn2ze ok
The Spanish were long gone . Actually the Spanish treated the natives better than the Mexicans not because they were good but because the Franciscans demanded better treatment
The mission in San Diego was the biggest wealthiest ranch in North American run by the natives
When the Spanish were overthrown the Franciscans were banished to Spain the Mexicans stoled the property .
The Mexican’s are who they are a very fine people who have suffered from hundreds of years of bad corrupt governments

Geronimo means "He Who Yawns"
Yes, I grew up in upstate NY on Onida lake, and remember yelling Geronimo all of the time jumping into the rivers off of the railroad tracks, or the dam. Or hitting my squirrel while hunting. I did it eat a few squirrels while growing up. We were a little poor sometimes, and squirrel was better than butter and sugar sandwiches.

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.
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.

@@bearthalamas9241 No, it wasn't nice, on both sides, the bloodshed and loss of life. I was mostly speaking of nice, the way they originally lived. I wasn't there. I can only go by what i see, or hear happened, and in my imagination it definitely don't paint a pretty picture, about the battles.

Interesting. Pretty much makes national distinctiveness irrelevant. He existed and was who he was despite being pegged to someone interpretation of property rights requiring a national designation by those who came after him.
My father loved Westerns. I used to watch with him as a young girl. I quickly realised i was rooting for the 'injuns', not the cowboys. I saw them to be dignified, honest, of integrity and honour. Many years later, my father died. A solicitor and accountant executed his estate, both men, who call themselves, 'honourable professionals' conspired with my half-brother to steal our inherritance. One day, i read a few sentences in a book which brought me to tears, particularly in relation to the actions of the greedy' white man' executors.....
"All men, of any race or tribe are of the warrior clan in the eyes of the native American and they are charged with the honour of protecting women and children. The greatest shame comes to any warrior when the women and children under his care comes to harm in any way."
The solicitor, accountant and half brother - wealthy high fee earning men stealing from vulnerable women that they have a duty of care to conjure the image of slovenly, sloppy, greasy and dirty whisky swilling slobby white men that i saw in the westerns. I think my spirit is red!!
@@808perp2 You hit the nail on the head in saying 'given awards and titles for it' - that is so true. But like you alude to too, the awards and titles are empty, when it comes to souls.

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.
