Geronimo and the Apache Resistance

• 1988 ----- color ----- 60 min ----- vhs
• In 1886, the U.S. government mobilized 5,000 men, one quarter of the entire U.S. Army, to capture Geronimo. At Skeleton Canyon along the U.S.-Mexico border, Geronimo ended his war of defying federal authority, sitting down as a sign of surrender to General Nelson A. Miles of the U.S. Army, ending the bitter warfare between Apaches and whites. Highlights the clash of cultures and portrays the wrenching transformation of an Indian society faced with the loss of its land and traditions.
