Chiricahua Chief, Cochise, was one of the few people to realize that peace was the only way his people and the people around him could survive (Hoxie 1). Honesty and respect was his method to come to an agreement. If more people had followed his example, what we know now

The dead were scattered

Geronimo Geronimo acquired a reputation in the American history, as a renegade fighting and clinging for his freedom even though many of his tribes gave up. His story was known by all Native Americans, as he stuck fear on the white settlers living in their territories through bloody raids.

Geronimo is one of the most famous
tribesmen. Cochise and Crazy Horse were among the fiercest and bravest Native Americans that have ever lived. These two men, while having clashing personalities, both showed strength and courage, in their pursuit to remain free. COCHISE: Born in 1804, Cochise would rise to be an influential leader, as well as, one of the fiercest advisories to American westward expansion.

For the Apache’s the security was promised but rarely upheld by the American government. The minimal security the Navajo enjoyed vanished by 1846. Men like Kit Carson desired but often failed to maintain the peace and security for
Tom, the main white male, dedicates time to learn the Apache language, how to send smoke signals and shows respect when speaking to Cochise.

In John Ford’s 1948 film, Fort Apache, the landscape of the mythic American West provides a fitting backdrop for the transposition of American ideals, values, and anxieties following the wake of WWII. As director, Ford aptly utilizes elements of the harsh desert landscape, ideals of the cavalry, and the inversion of conventional stereotypes to produce a reflective critique of American principles, issues and concerns. During the non-commissioned officer’s dance scene, Ford explores the significance
what outcry will come next, just that racism of all sorts have always existed in America and more currently correlated with Mexican immigration. Everyone is to take part of the blame, whether it is scholarly authors as Muret or even the residents of Cochise community, as they reinforce such ideologies of oppression.
their literature. Cochise, an Apache leader, made a speech in 1872, loosely entitled [I am Alone] that addressed Americans. This was translated by a white man. It is not known how accurate it is, however, it conveys a strong message. Cochise is a proud man, who is always truthful. “I hereby pledge my word, a word that has never been broken” (1463). He has his doubts about the truthfulness of the Whites whom he watched come in small numbers and had welcomed in friendship. Cochise was confused to their

Goyahkla, in the Apache language, means one who yawns. The name Geronimo is Spanish for Jerome, which means psycho.

Native Americans lost everything once white settlers set foot on America. Their entire lives changed right in front of their eyes, all because people were taking things that didn’t belong to them. The white settlers took everything from them, almost all of them died, or had to relocate; today Native Americans are still going through the same stereotypes and racism, and are seen as very dangerous. During the 1820s, a military hero became a symbol of expanding America. That hero was Andrew Jackson
More than 5,000 troops were under General Miles' command at that time, including elements of the 4th, 6th and 10th Cavalry.

Captain Henry Lawton, commanding officer of "B" Troop, 4th Cavalry, was an experienced soldier who knew the ways of the Apaches. His tactics were to wear them down by constant pursuit. Stationed
The movie Broken Arrow (1950) builds strongly upon the stereotyping Indians of being noble savages. The scenes in which Tom Jeffords makes contact with the group of Apache Indians in Broken Arrow manipulates the viewer's perspective of the Apache, enforcing a noble savage stereotype to the Apache tribe. These scenes at the start of the movie can easily change the attitude of the viewers. Jefford’s first encounter with the Apache group has a greater presence on how savage and wild the Apache can be
