With all due respect...How do you or anyone else know who Geronimo fathered? Did you live in the 19th and Early 20th centuries? Were all of his relatives and descendants documented prior to his surrender? Did you travel the paths that he and his band members/captives traveled in 1886 all the way across the country (Florida) and half way back (Alabama/Oklahoma) never to return to their point of origin? You don't know me, nor do you know what blood runs through me or any of my family members. So where do you get off with your "set the record straight" attitude? At this juncture only DNA could prove what I already know to be true... Nappy hair don't make you Black and Straight hair don't make you Indian. Blacks and Indians have interacted for centuries and anyone who denies this reality chooses to believe myths intended to manipulate the mind. What is interesting to me is how the Indians of old do not look like the Indians of today, and that is common among most of the tribes. !
What were once a dark skinned people are now fair skinned. By now you should now how devisive color, a God given trait, can be. Have you ever noticed that some Apaches (and other Indian tribes) wore dread locks 100 years before they were made popular by Bob Marley, the Jamaican Reggae singer? Research will open your eyes to new realities. I have no interest in stealing someone else's heritage. But, it is my peragotive if I choose to reclaim my own...and there are too many people in my family over too many generations who look like Geronimo, his family, and some of his descendants. We happen to be from the same place and time that he is from. So if it settles your mind to leave it at coincidental, then do that. Is that alright with you?
Peace, TJ (a real descendant!)

Geronimo had no relations with Blacks nor did he fathered all those relatives. He was not a chief , he was a DIIYIN, and he wasnot the sex crazed indian everyone paints him out to be. He was an Apache who fought for his people, and for the right to be FREE.. My source is Joesph Geronimo, a real relative, and who lives on the Mescalero REZ. The INDE will last no matter what, who, or where.
