What is geronimo's race?
Geronimo was a Chiricahua Apache (his name in the Chiricahua-Mescalero language was Goyathlay)
Did Geronimo have a last name?
No. Geronimo was actually born under the name Goyathlay, meaning "he who yawns." Because the Spanish prayed to St. Jerome, Goyathlay became known as Geronimo (cf. the Spanish name for Jerome, Jerónimo). Seeing as Geronimo is really a nickname, it is clear that he has no last name; as such, he is just called "Geronimo."

Goyathlay - meaning one who yawns
What was the name by which his Mexican victims would cry out in terror to St. Jerome?
Geronimo
When did Geronimo fight?
Many years but nobody knows exactly how long The first official mention of Goyathlay's involvement in any form of military action was in retaliation for a Mexican army attack on his village (March 6th, 1851). During this retaliation attack Goyathlay abandoned the use of a gun and used a knife instead, the men he killed cried out to Saint Jerome "Jeronimo" and thus he was named Geronimo. He officially surrendered on September 4th 1886 at Skeleton Canyon Arizona. Using these dates the time of his official battles / war, was 35 years.
What is something Geronimo said during his time period?
Actually, one of the things he said that became most famous was, "Geronimo." The name given to him at birth was Goyathlay. He became known as Geronimo after his escape from US Army troops as he jumped from Medicine Bluff into Cache Creek on the US Army reservation at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. The meaning of the word is unclear and may have been simply an Apache battle or war cry of some type. It is also possible that the troops who witnessed the jump from what is now known as Geronimo's Leap at the peak of the bluff misheard Goyathlay. For those interested Goyathlay's grave is on the Ft. Sill Military Reservation north of Lawton, Oklahoma. The jail where he was incarcerated there is still standing and part of the tour. His cell is open to be viewed with the 3" trough worn in the floor where he paced nonstop for the years he was held there. The hospital where he died is now the barracks for USAFAC HQ personnel.
