What if I told you that Chicago was founded by the efforts of an African American man & his Native American wife in the late 1700’s? The little-known origins of shared kinship between Africans, Native Americans and Asians lie in their alliances and allegiances formed during slavery and as fellow citizens of the United States. Hundreds of years ago, long before Europeans came to America, the mountains, plains and deserts belonged to the native tribes such as the Mescalero Apaches. No other Native Americans in the Southwest caused the terror and constant fear in the settlers as the Apaches did throughout their existence. They raided Spanish, Mexican and American settlers, and were known to be expert guerrilla fighters who defended their homelands. The Mescalero Apache were great warriors with legendary chiefs, notably among them the legendary Chief Geronimo. Today, three sub-tribes, Mescalero, Lipan and Chiricahua, make up the Mescalero Apache Tribe. I am grateful to welcome to the show, the honorable (recently retired) Mescalero Apache Chief Gabe Aguilar for an eye-opening discussion on topics often left unspoken.
