Geronimo (Chiricahua: “one who yawns”; often spelled Goyathlay or Goyahkla in English) was a prominent Native American leader of the Chiricahua Apache who defended his people against the encroachment of the US on their tribal lands for over 25 years. While Geronimo said he was never actually a chief, he was rather a military leader. As a Chiricahua Apache, this meant he was also a spiritual leader. He consistently urged raids and war upon many Mexican and later U.S. groups. Geronimo eventually went on to marry 6 wives, an Apache tradition. He staged what was to be the last great Native American uprising, and eventually moved to a reservation often giving permissions to appear at fairs and schools.…

Americans have well understood the significance of the phrase, "All men are created equal." Throughout the history of the United States, the meaning of the phrase " All men are created equal" has changed and expanded. When this statement was written in the Constitution, it was to ensure that people in America would never be subject to a tyrannical and oppressive rule that benefited only the upper class and those in Britain.

At this point in America's history, equality meant every man had a say in how he was governed and should have equal rights so the majority would be satisfied and wouldn't revolt.…

Native American Indians, a resilient group of individuals who have persevered through a myriad of trials and discrimination, have established themselves as a fundamental piece of America’s history.…
