When eluding the US Cavalry where did Apache Warrior Geronimo and his people hide?
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.

How do you say it's a good day to die in Apache language?
There are hundreds of Indian languages in North America alone, and your question sounds like "How do you say hello in the European language"?
Having said that, I think you're looking for hóka-héy, today is a good day to die, in Lakota. Bear in mind you don't just mumble this; you belt it out like it's the last thing you will ever say on this earth, and you have already made your peace.
** What you are looking for is the Lakota language, and the phrase is the one attributed to Crazy Horse, the Sioux chief at the battle of Little Big Horn. Hoka hey is simply an exclamation to draw attention, similar to a coach saying, "lets do it!" In all probability Crazy Horse never said, "Today is a good day to die," that is the English bastardization of a common Sioux battle-cry of, "Nake nula wauŋ welo!" This phrase really means, "I am ready for whatever comes (somewhat paraphrased by me)." It was meant to show the warriors were not afraid of the battle or dying in it. So... Crazy Horse probably shouted, "Hokahey! Nake nula wauŋ welo!" and then went on to kick the cavalry's butt.**
Líla pilámayapelo kolá, great answer and much-needed clarification :) (and kick some Cavalry butt Crazy Horse did, and in style!)
