"Geronimo - Apache" is a renowned photograph taken by Edward Sheriff Curtis, an American photographer and ethnologist known for his extensive work documenting Native American tribes in the early 20th century. Curtis's photograph of Geronimo, the famous Apache leader, is one of the most iconic images in his vast collection, which aimed to capture the lives, cultures, and traditions of Native American peoples before they were significantly altered by European-American expansion.

Edward S. Curtis embarked on his ambitious project, "The North American Indian," in the early 1900s, with the goal of creating a comprehensive ethnographic record of Native American tribes. Funded initially by J.P. Morgan and later supported by President Theodore Roosevelt, Curtis spent over 20 years traveling across the United States, photographing and recording the histories and traditions of over 80 tribes. His work resulted in a 20-volume series, accompanied by 20 portfolios of photogravures, which are highly regarded for their artistic and historical significance.

The photograph of Geronimo, taken in 1905, captures the Apache leader in a dignified and contemplative pose. Geronimo, born in 1829, was a prominent leader and medicine man of the Bedonkohe band of the Apache tribe. He is best known for his resistance against Mexico and the United States' expansion into Apache tribal lands during the Apache Wars. Geronimo's defiance and tactical prowess made him a symbol of Native American resistance and resilience.

Curtis's portrayal of Geronimo is not just a simple portrait but a powerful representation of the strength and spirit of the Apache people. The photograph has been widely reproduced and remains a significant piece of American history, reflecting both the individual legacy of Geronimo and the broader narrative of Native American struggles during a period of intense cultural and territorial upheaval.

Through "Geronimo - Apache," Edward S. Curtis succeeded in preserving an important part of American heritage, offering future generations a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of the most legendary figures in Native American history.
