Quotes from Geronimo

"I was warmed by the sun, rocked by the winds and sheltered by the trees as other Indian babes. I was living peaceably when people began to speak bad of me. Now I can eat well, sleep well and be glad. I can go everywhere with a good feeling. "

 " I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us. There is one God looking down on us all. We are all the children of one God. The sun, the darkness, the winds are all listening to what we have to say. "

"I was born on the prairiers where the wind blew free and there was nothing to break the light of the sun."

Perinteinen intiaaniruokous

Kun olen kuollut
Itke hiukan minun vuokseni
Ajattele minua toisinaan
Mutta älä liikaa
Ajattele minua silloin tällöin
Sellaisena kuin olin eläessäni
Toisinaan on mukava muistella
Mutta ei kauan
Jätä minut rauhaan
Niin minäkin jätän sinut rauhaan
Ja niin kauan kuin elät
Säästä ajatuksesi eläviä varten
