Geronimo

Geronimo, who was also known as “the one who yawns,” was a leader and a healer from the Bedonkohe band of the Apache tribe. He was a Native American who led several raids against Mexican and United States soldiers and was the most feared leader of Native American heritage in the 19th century.

He fought during the Apache-United States conflict but was eventually caught. He fought for his homeland for 30 years but finally surrendered. Geronimo was so fearless that even after being shot point blank by his opponents, he charged on continuing to kill them. Even today, people scream “Geronimo” when they are about to jump from great heights.
