   You just can't look at Geronimo as just one case. The Native American at   
   that time in history was lied to, cheated, stolen from, & looked down   
   on. Regardless of what tribe he was connected to, his skills,   
   his connection to nature and the land he was   
   thought of as just a savage. This is totally untrue. His love of family,   
   his religion and his tribe was all important to him.   
   From Sand Creek, The Washata, The Gratton fight he was killed and blamed   
   for every battle. However he was pushed into   
   every fight by people lying to him or stealing from him.
