Geronimo, the prominent Apache leader, was arrested in 1909 primarily for his involvement in resisting U.S. government policies and his role in leading his people during conflicts with American settlers and military forces. Following his surrender in 1886, he was held as a prisoner of war for several years. His later arrest in 1909 was part of a broader effort to control and assimilate Native American leaders who resisted U.S. authority. Ultimately, Geronimo's arrest symbolized the ongoing struggle between Native Americans and the U.S. government during this period.
