Geronimo (Chiricahua Goyaałé 'One Who Yawns), (1829–1909) was a prominent Native American leader of the Chiricahua Apache who long warred against the encroachment of the white man on tribal lands. Mexican soldiers massacred his first wife and three children during a supposedly peaceful trading session in 1858, and as a result he hated all Mexicans for the rest of his life. His forces became the last major force of independent Indian warriors who refused to acknowledge the United States Government in the American West.
