Geronimo
	(1829 - 1909)
	Goyaalé (Geronimo) was born to the Bedonkohe band of the Chiricahua Apache, near Turkey Creek, a tributary of the Gila River in what is now the state of Arizona, then part of Mexico, but which his family considered Bedonkohe land. The orgins of his non-Apache nickname of "Gerónimo" are not really known. Some believe that his Spanish enemies called out to Saint Jerome for assistance while attacking or in the midst of violent defeat. Others believe it was a transcription of the Spanish attempt to pronounce the name Goyaalé and was given to him by friendly Mexican traders.
