The Apache Native American Indian resistance occured in the Southwestern United States around the 1860s.Geronimo led the most famous Native American resistance and it cost the U.S. government over $40 Million dollars to kill 100 Indians, which in turn killed over 1000 US Soldiers. The resistance caused the death of about 80% of the Apaches.
Goyathlay, ''the one who yawns,'' also known as Geronimo was born near turkey creek, now modern day New Mexico. Geronimo was born to the Bendonkohe band of the Apache tribe. Geronimo was raised to the apache tradition and became the leader of the last American Indian Fighting force to capitulate the United States. This Apache Indian warrior and his band of 37 followers defied federal authority for more than 25 years before they surrendered in Skeleton Canyon, Arizona on Sept 6th 1886. Geronimo later died in 1909 as a prisoner in Oklahoma. Geronimo became the most famous Apache of all time.

''I was warmed by the sun, rocked by the wind, and sheltered by the trees.''
