Reply #4: I do know a little bit about him...

[judy]

and I also know that a movie was made about him that inspired the paratroopers during WWII to scream "Geronimo!" to give themselves courage when they jumped out of an airplane.

My perspective on him is of great reverence, and his story is a symbol of the incredible arrogance of white men who felt they were superior to everyone else (though their civilization probably originates from Iraq!) and of how they felt they could humiliate those whose families they had murdered.

My point is that the name "Geronimo" was given to him by his enemies, and does not represent him, at least in my view.
But it seems that my post was inflammatory to some. For this I apologize.
I often wish that the First Americans would rise up (in nonviolent struggle) and assert their right to the land, their pride, and refuse to be used as canon fodder for the white men's wars of greed.

But that's just me, I guess...
