Geronimo is an Apache name, not a language. The Apache people speak various Southern Athabaskan languages.
Apache is not the name of a tribe but a large group of related tribes speaking closely related languages. there was never a chief of all the Apache people and even each tribe would have more than one chief.Some of the many Apache tribes are:Jicariilla or OllerosMescaleroChiricahua or Gilenos or Mimbres or Mogollon or ChokonensWhite Mountain or CoyoterosTonto
I have never found any famous people of the apache tribe except, the Apache Leader Geronimo
Dineh. And English and Spanish. The name, Geronimo, is Italian, but he didn't speak that language. In his native tongue his name was Gothalay.
It is estimated that Geronimo personally killed around 25-35 people during his time as a warrior and leader of the Apache tribe. However, it is important to note that the circumstances of many of these deaths were during battles or conflicts with other groups.
Yelling "Geronimo" is often done when jumping from a height or engaging in an adventurous activity. It is a way to express excitement, fear, or exhilaration, with the term referencing the legendary Apache leader Geronimo who was known for his courage and daring spirit.
"Geronimo: My Life" by Geronimo, an Apache warrior, has approximately 104 pages in the English edition.
Geronimo? Cochise? There are more than a few.. :)
Geronimo was born in June 1829 in what is now Arizona. His parents belonged to the Bedonkohe band of the Apache tribe, and his father was a respected leader. As a child, Geronimo was known for his bravery and skill as a horseman and hunter. He was taught the Apache way of life and the importance of protecting tribal lands and traditions. He had two sisters and four brothers, and the family was very close. Geronimo's childhood was filled with hard work, hunting, and learning the Apache culture. He learned to ride a horse before he could walk, and he learned to hunt at a young age. He was also taught the Apache language and the stories of his ancestors. He was known as a strong and brave child, and he enjoyed competing in races and games with other Apache children. Geronimo also experienced a number of traumatic events during his childhood. In 1851, his father and two brothers were killed by Mexican soldiers. In 1858, his mother, wife, and three children were killed by Mexican soldiers. These events had a lasting impact on Geronimo, and he vowed to protect his people from the oppression of the Mexican government.
Geronimo is widely known for his leadership in the Apache resistance against the United States and their prescribed reservation life for the Apache people. Born Goyahkla ("one who yawns"), the name Geronimo was given to him by fearful Mexican soldiers praying to St. Jerome (Jeronimo). Goyahkla's fellow warriors heard the Mexicans crying "Cuidado! Jeronimo!" and it stuck with the young warrior. Geronimo became a leading figure in the Apache wars after his escape from the San Carlos reservation. Between the years of 1876 and 1886, the Apache warrior would revisit and again flee the reservation on several occasions. Geronimo's final surrender to General Nelson Miles in 1886 marked the end of the Apache wars. At the time of his surrender, Geronimo's band consisted of 17 warriors and a handful of women and children. In his last attempt at finding freedom, he and his small band had, for nearly a year, successfully evaded the largest Army force ever sent after a renegade Indian: roughly 5,000 American troops (about a quarter of the Army). Also in pursuit were thousands of Mexican soldiers, Mexican citizens and American citizens. Geronimo died a prisoner of war in 1909 on the Fort Sill reservation in Oklahoma.
Geronimo and his people, the Apache warriors, used the rugged and remote terrain of the Sierra Madre Mountains in northern Mexico to hide from the US Cavalry. They would seek refuge in deep, inaccessible canyons and caves, making it difficult for the cavalry to track and capture them. Their knowledge of the land and guerrilla warfare tactics also played a crucial role in their ability to elude the US Cavalry for many years.
