One of my ancestors was a melon farmer in Arizona who was captured by Geronimo. Luckily just before capture he shared melons with a couple of Indians on the side of the road. As Geronimo's band was about to kill him the Indians he saw earlier came into camp and told Geronimo what he had done for them. After shooting at his feet a bit they let my ancestor go. At least that's how the family myth goes.

It is interesting that to this day in Sonora, you can still hear the expression "parece que atacaron los apaches" (it looks like the apaches attacked); to refer to something extremely messy or that looks chaotic.

Not sure if you will see this, but I would love it if you did a video on American folk heroes like John Henry, Davy Crockett, Paul Bunyan, and Johnny Appleseed. It was really surprising to me as an adult to learn these were all real people who were as infinitely complex as real people are, not just the caricatures of themselves. It’s also really strange that we have this specific cast of them, that they all have their own folk song which is likely why they’re so memorialized, and they used to be kind of ‘important’ or used to be celebrities like Geronimo, but the public seems to have completely lost interest.

And of course his military record in the Creek war and the Alamo.

There is something I find so indescribably sad about all of this.

Oof, that's a complicated history. I've definitely yelled "Geronimo" when jumping off things (mostly as a kid) and had no idea where that came from. Thanks for the education.

Those WWII paratroopers with the mohawks that you mention, I beleive they were called “The Filthy 13” They were a small unit of soldiers that played a similar role to British Commandos during the war. Mainly Demolition and Recon missions. Almost every assignment was a suicide mission so they would shave their heads into mohawks to stmbolize the fact they were facing certain death with the odds against them. I mever knew the exact influence of their traditions but i see now how Goyaale and the Apaches situation must of influenced the Filthy 13. The movie “The Dirty Dozen” was inspired by the Filthy 13. They were incredibly effective and went beyond their ohjectives. Some of their missions sound like the end of the movie Commando with the amount of dudes these guys would take out. Their mission an Normandy i beleive is their most signature. I live in Pensacola. Goyaale was imprisoned here at Fort Pickens for some time. They were cruel to the Apache. They were turned into a human zoo. People would pay an admission to walk by and look at them on the other side of bars like they were zoo animals. I’ve also been to the part of New Mexico where all of that went down. Such a magical place. It’s a shame to see things turn out the way they did. In the end a lot of people’s lives are destroyed on both sides, and all so a handful of people can obtain an immense amount of wealth, fortune, and power…

Always great to see Arizona-related history discussed, amazing content as always.

I just read a book about Apache knife fighting. The book mentioned Geronimo and Apache warrior culture although it was pretty varied among bands. The society was more about smaller/dispersed groups as the climate was harsh so wide swathes of area were covered for hunting/gathering. This is why Apaches rejected American/Mexican land claims as they needed to roam the areas to survive. As for depictions of them being savages, they are brutal but sometimes exaggerated as written sources came from American/Spanish texts so scalping was actually a rare thing for Apache to do. Their fighting culture was very hit and run as they were essentially outnumbered and had to fight smart. Some things included baiting the enemy, ingraining a culture of running very long distances since childhood, and being quick to adopt steel weapons/guns. Several of these aspects of the general Apache warrior culture actually cross pollinates to US military tactics historically and today.

My father is a Lumbee native american and I myself am mixed. The deconstruction of the american historical myth is incredible and I cannot express enough appreciation of these works. But I think one footnote missing from some of the history so far. The Lumbee tribe are the largest federally unrecognized tribe in the US and I think its important to discuss the exception (indigenous people not contained west but instead within the Carolinas) and also to highlight how North American Indigenous groups were largely familial with fluid boundaries which is discussed within the early history of the Lumbee. The Roanoke integrating white people with seemingly little friction is, in my opinion important to deconstructing parts of the "civilizing" white supremacist narrative used against Native American and African American peoples. I hope you eventually touch on this pretty obscure part of history.

Fun Fact, the last Indian War was in 1974. There was no violence, but the Kootenia declared war on the US in 1974 demanding land. I think they blockaded a bridge in Northern Idaho. It was mostly a political stunt to get federally recognized. But still it was the last ‘Indian War’.
