Geronimo

Geronimo

Geronimo is the movie about Western Expansion of the Native Indian tribe name “Apache” that they fight for right to live in their land and the famous Indian warrior .\
Only one Chircahua warrior and his band of renegades held out, Then even he sent word that he would give himself up in two month’s time. He was called Goyakla….. but years before , the Mexicans had give him another name: Geronimo.
The Apache doing fine farm core , Geronimo said he didn’t start the trouble . They was dislodged their land from white-eye. The army killed the dreamer , He was calling for taking up arms against the United States Army. Geronimo not understand why with all this land why is there no room for the Apache? ,why dose the white-eye want all the land?. The best way out for Apache is they have to live on reservation to keep peace.some of Apache trust Nantantan Lupan . Many of Geronimo want to surrender and he told Nantantan Lupan about his childhood , When he was young, the white-eye come and want the land of his people. When the solider burn down his village, they moved to the mountains. When they took their food ,when they kill our children we had more . We kill all white –eye that we could. But in their hearts we never surrendered.
Many years ago the white-eye kill Geronimo’s wife and his two little girl, he has no weapon and don’t want to fight but he doesn’t know what to do.That’s why he want to revenge them.
After arranging Geronimo’ final surrender, Lieutenant Gate wood was immediately transferred to a remote garrison in northern Wyoming. His continued presence would have been an embarrassing reminder that the United Army had failed to defeat a band of 35 Apache. Instead of being rewarded with a medal for his heroic efforts, Lt. Charles Gate wood was sentenced to obscurity. C.S Fly a photographer from tombstone had requested permission to accompany General Crook to Mexico and record the negotiations. Much to everyone’s surprise, Crook agreed. Even more surprising, Geronimo and the other Chiricahna also agreed. In some mysterious way, they seemed to understand these pictures would make them immortal. They remain the only known photographs ever taken of the American Indian as an enemy in the field.
Later that afternoon, Geronimo ,his band of renegades and all the Chiricahua that had served the army so faithfully were loaded into wagons and transported to the railhead at Holbrook . There they were to begin their journey to Florida and imprisonment.
Geronimo lived for another 22years as a prisoner of war. Despite its promise, the federal government never let him return home again.

In my opinion , from this movie It’s not fair for the Apache tribe (American Indian) they were took the land from them and they have to move out from their home to live in another place. This land is belong to them before the white –eye came here. I think they can live together in peace no need to fight each other for the land. The Apache they have to fight because they have no choice Actually they want to keep in peace. I this movie It’s show me about the style of Indian’s clothes and their culture such as The Indian dance for blessing to their god. I think it’s good movie to learn about the Indian’s culture.
from this movie you will see the Apache man have a long hair same as the women and use the many kind of weapon to fight such as gun, arrow, axe and they also have a skill of riding hourse.

Good blogging eventhough some of it came off the internet. Overall you are doing very well in this blogging business. I look forward to your comments when I give out the movies.

Nice opinions about the Apaches and those that worked for the Army. The whites were definitely bad guys on this issue.

You done good.
