What topic should I cover next?

Those last 37 Chiricahua, that held out against 5000 plus soldiers, should have been left to live in peace on their homelands…

-
Interesting story that should never be forgotten❗️

I learned many facts about Geronimo I had not previously known. In my book collection I own 3 biographies of Geronimo.

Nothing but respect for that Man (Warrior)👍

Geronimo gets alot of praise for his warrior abilities, but he left my great great great grandfather Victorio hanging in Tres Castillos. This is the battle Terazzas killed Victorio, Geronimo ran when Bi-duye commanded all warriors to fight so the women and children could escape. I know my history very well and many Chiricahua in prison had bitter feelings towards him, i grew up with Geronimo's great grandsons, 7 of them here in Mescalero Apache reservation. I am a great great great grandson of Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache chief's Victorio, Mangas Coloradas, and Loco. I am also a great great grandson of Chiricahua Apache US Scouts Charles Martine Sr and Paul Guydelkon Sr. My grandmother Evelyn Martine was the last Chiricahua Apache born as a US prisoner of war in Ft Sill, Oklahoma in 1912.

Eve Ball authored a great book concerning Victorio. She lived in Ruidoso, NM for some time and once some of the Mescalero Apache trusted her, they began to relay past stories to her while she recorded them.

They got lied to and harassed by everyone

The history of Native Americans after the arrival Europeans is tragic. They were an ancient culture, having lived here for thousands upon thousands of years. But, once the white man and his Manifest Destiny philosophy decided to “tame” them, they were wiped out in a few number of years. Thank you for this video.

The relentless persecution of the Native Americans is saddening.
-
Love your channel thanks for the enjoyment. God bless you.
-
You have no idea how inspirational this story can be to a Finn who has Sámi heritage
-
Pure admiration and respect for Goyahkla !!
-
Thank you for sharing this

I would be interested in the participation of natives in the Battle of Kings mountain in south Carolina. I know about the over mountain men because of my heritage but my native ancestors participated in the battle which changed the direction of the Revolutionary war. It's been lost to history. Great video I watched it 3 times. Thanks.🙂
