    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.

    Martin was a Marine Corps Medic in Vietnam, an over the road truck driver, a Fiber Optic Engineer, an entrepreneur, a government contractor with Top Secret Clearance, and a real estate agent. As a retiree, he is volunteering at Fort Verde and giving talks about Geronimo and the Scouts.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
