    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (February 6, 2020) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting the next in its Living History speaker series on Thursday February 13 at 10:00 a.m. at the Museum when Jerry Martin will present “My Great-Grandfather – Geronimo”.

    Jerry is part Chiricahua, Mescalero and Lipan Apache, of the Bedonkohe band, with family roots on the San Carlos reservation. He will be telling the life story of Goyahkla (he who yawns), later to become Goyathlay (the wise one), who became better known as the legendary Geronimo. Jerry will talk about Geronimo’s birth, childhood, marriage, and his struggles between the Mexicans and the American Soldiers. This great leader and medicine man was placed on the reservation three times and eluded authorities from both sides of the Rio Grande. Stories will include some of the battles and raids Geronimo led, his survival, and negotiations with Gen. Crook.

    Raised for the first three years of his life by his great-grandmother and continuing to live close to her, Jerry Martin learned Apache ways and stories. During this time he learned of his relationship to the famous warrior. Before she passed away, she told him to be proud of his heritage and to someday go home to his roots in Arizona, which he has, now living in Camp Verde.

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
