After Geronimo’s surrender, he was sent to Florida as punishment. When he surrendered, the United States government told him and his people that they would only have to stay in Florida. Then they could return to Arizona. However, Geronimo lived for another 22 years and was never allowed to return to Arizona. Why do you think that the United States government didn’t let Geronimo return to Arizona? Give examples to support your reasons. Write at last two reasons.

After watching the movie, I felt bad for the Apache people and how the United States army lied to them. They did not kept their word to the Apache people, the outlaw Apaches that led by Goyakla (Geronimo), to the Chiricahua Scouts, and The Apache Scouts from the White Mountain. First …show more content…

They took their land their houses their houses, and their weapons. Then, they end the services of the Apache Scouts, they took their guns and they sent them to Florida with the other Apache people even though they helped them capture Geronimo. Also, they did not kept their end of the deal with Geronimo. They told him that he have to go to Florida for two years and after two years he can return to Arizona, but they did not let him return to his home even after 22 years. In my opinion, I think the United States Government did not let Geronimo return to Arizona because he is a legend and he can start a war on the United States army like what he did when the army of the United States killed a dreamer. He killed the solders and he took most of the men, women, and children with him. Also, I think if he returned to Arizona he can revenge and revenge his people like what he told Mr. Gatewood that he did not learn to do anything except to revenge and always will get revenge. That’s was after a year when his wife and his two girls killed by the Mexican army. He killed more than 50 soldiers in his way to the Mexican border. When Mr. Gatewood came to him at

Geronimo was an Apache warrior who was born in 1829 and became one of the most feared out of Indian leaders of the 19th century. When Geronimo was born he grew into becoming part of the Bedonkohe tribe, which at the time was one of the smallest band out of the Chiricahua Apache tribes. At that time in history, the Chiricahua Apaches, specifically the Bedonkohe tribe, would have lived in what is now New Mexico and Arizona in the United States of America.

In Life Among the Piutes, sarah winnemucca hopkins describes what happens when soldiers came to their reservation based off what white settlers tell the government. The most shocking instance of this happened when Winnemucca encountered a group of soldier who told her the white settlers accused the natives of stealing cattle, “the soldiers rode up to their [meaning the Piute’s] encampment and fired into it, and killed almost all the people that were there… after the soldiers had killed but all bur some little children and babies… the soldiers took them too… and set the camp on fire and threw them into the flames to see them burned alive”(78). This is an abhorrent act that is unthinkable in a functioning society. The natives had done nothing but want to hold some shred of land from the settlers who had taken everything from them and are exterminated like vermin. This was something that stayed hidden from many white settlers because of its barbarism and by exposing it Winnemucca truly educates the reader, past and present, on how natives are
