Geronimo Coloring Page

Geronimo, whose Apache name was Goyaałé, was a leader and medicine man of the Chiricahua Apache. After soldiers killed his family in a Mexican attack, he spent years fighting to protect Apache land. He and his small band were hard to catch, and he became famous across the country.

In 1886 he surrendered to the U.S. Army, the last major Apache leader to do so, and was held as a prisoner of war. He later took part in the 1904 World’s Fair and rode in Theodore Roosevelt’s 1905 inaugural parade.
