I am so glad that you could join us and give us some insight while we read Geronimo! First of all, I am pretty ashamed that I did not know more about Geronimo before I began this book. I had no idea about his accomplishments or importance in history and I am disappointed that I was so ignorant! This book has given me more insight into his life as a great warrior and spiritual leader while also helping me understand more about the Apache people. One thing that I found interesting about the Apache people is that they seem to show a lot of respect to women. For example, Lozen, who can foresee the future, is shown extreme respect by her tribe. The book says that she "was truly the equal of any man in battle". I find it very interesting that her status as a woman does not hold her back in any way. Also, another thing that I learned is that many Native Americans tell stories by telling other stories! I think that this book is an example of that because the author is trying to tell the reader about Geronimo's capture and trip on the train, but he reflects back to the events that have happened before the capture so that we can better understand who the kind of person that Geronimo is. I am glad that I am learning more about the Apache people and I know that I will continue to encounter more interesting things as I delve further into the book!
