Just read the headline... maybe he should try Viagra.
Well I have never heard of this before. I guess if its his bones they should give them back.
I wonder if they can DNA test the bones and determine with any accuracy if they really are Geronimo’s (or another Apache?) If so, of course they should be returned for burial.

I thought they buried Geronimo in the Black Hills where no White Man would ever find him?
If they are the bones of Geronimo or any other contemporary Indian they should be returned for burial.
If they are the bones of any contemporary non-Native American, they too, should be buried.
Grave robbing is a despicable crime and the lack of response from the White House is troubling.
Treating the remains of dead enemies with contempt was a common and accepted practise in the past. By the late 19th Century it had become a repugnant habit generally restricted to the remains of recent American Indians in this Country.
Thanks to acts like this, we have the current idiotic federal law which extends protection to the bones of palaeo-indians who died thousands of years ago and have no certain connections to anyone living today. Kennebec man is a case in point.
Personally I find it disturbing that such secret societies persist today, that some of them are so eltitist in nature as the “Skull and Bones” society and that people so ostensibly opposite in political viewpoints as Kerrry and Jorge owe greater allegience to it, apparently, than they do to common decency.
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s Cadillac.
I believe that may have been Crazy Horse. He was buried standing up in a rock crevice somewhere. Only He Dog and a few other Sioux knew where.
Might be Geronimo or might not. Give up the bones since it doesn’t matter one way or the other. If necessary for some ritual purposes make plaster cast bones and use those. Plaster cast bones are very realistic these days and will work just as well as real bones.
If the remains are in fact those of his Great Grandfather...then they SHOULD be returned and treated with respect.
Never heard that term before, what the hell does that mean?
You sir, are correct.
When the article was copied there was an ad in that spot - just a place marker.
Unfortunately, what we did to the native Americans was not our finest hour. But if we did not move to populate this country it would have been someone else. Regardless, the Indians were doomed. After saying that, it would be proper to return his remains to his relatives.
"Si, Señor! It was Geronimo's skull when he was a little boy!"
