"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy birthday, Goyahkla.


Goyahkla, Geronimo, is thought to have been born on this date in 1829.

I was born on the prairies where the wind blew free and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no enclosures.  I was warmed by the sun, rocked by the winds and sheltered by the trees as other Indian babes. I can go anywhere with a good feeling.
