Geronimo — Apache Warrior, Spirit Unbroken Metal Print

This powerful portrait honors Geronimo (Goyaałé) — warrior, leader, and member of the Chiricahua Apache people — with historically accurate attire and a composite testament drawn from his own words. Dressed in traditional buckskin, adorned with a sacred turquoise pendant, and bearing a solemn expression shaped by resilience and loss, Geronimo is portrayed here as he was remembered: not a myth, but a man of unyielding spirit. The text beneath the portrait is crafted from Geronimo’s autobiography (1905) and firsthand accounts, preserving his dignity and voice. His actual English signature, signed late in life, serves as a final mark of identity. This tribute is offered in respect and solidarity with the Apache Nation, and especially the Chiricahua Apache people, whose legacy endures.
