The Mystery Of Geronimo’s Missing Skull — And The DNA Test That Could Finally Reveal The Truth
He died far from every place that had meaning in the framework of Apache life and spirituality.
That geographical exile is part of what makes the skull mystery more than a curiosity about a secret society.
Geronimo spent twenty-three years asking to go back to the land that defined him.
He was denied.
If his remains were then removed from their grave and taken to a room in New Haven — further from the Arizona mountains than Fort Sill itself — that removal would represent a continuation of the exile into death.
The Apache concept of the proper relationship between people and the landscape of their lives is not identical across all Apache communities, and it is not fully captured in any single statement.
