Navy Seals used his name as the code word to report the mission’s success last year after taking out of the terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden. Two generations ago, Army paratroopers shouted his name as they jumped into World War II combat. Native American Apache chief Geronimo was a genuine 19th Century hero who fought to keep his people free from invaders.

A new year-long exhibit honoring Geronimo and his tribe is on display at the Heard Museum in Phoenix. It includes artifacts, photographs, paintings and official documents of the era.
