A descendant tribe of Geronimo’s 19th century tribal band opposes an attempt by the legendary Apache leader’s descendants to repatriate his remains to New Mexico.
Jeff Houser, chairman of the Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma, said he’s upset his tribe wasn’t consulted by Harlyn Geronimo, the warrior’s great-grandson, before he announced a lawsuit seeking to return Geronimo’s remains to the Gila Wilderness.
