Geronimo's name is famous across the world: the Apache warrior who led a resistance movement against the United States out in the South West for years...

But what happened to Geronimo (or Goyaałé) that led to his campaign of resistance? Why did the US and Mexico feel like they had to bring him down? And how did his story end?

Our guest today is Dr. Veronica Tiller, a writer of Native American History and editor & publisher of the award-winning economic reference guide Tiller’s Guide to Indian Country. 

Edited by Tim Arstall. Produced by Hannah Feodorov. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.
