The name Geronimo has become known internationally as both the name of a legendary Apache leader and as a synonym for anything Apache. Common stereotypes relating to Geronimo have persisted in hundreds of books, television and movie scripts. Beyond Geronimo examines the celebrity attached to Geronimo, and the resulting misrepresentations of Apache culture and heritage that followed the intense media attention focused on one man and his battle with the U. S. government. Beyond Geronimo provides insight to the historic groups of Apaches and the leaders who were overshadowed by Geronimo's persona, before and after his surrender. This exhibit, which will present a far more accurate view of this celebrated personality than have the sensationalized media accounts of the past 130 years, is sure to evoke varied emotions among those who view it. Works by contemporary Apache artists will show how they respond to and interpret their shared history and the changing faces of Geronimo. An Arizona Centennial Legacy Project.
