Week 6 Assignment
We Shall Remain – Geronimo Assignment
Introduction
The video for this assignment is another part of the series We Shall Remain. This particular episode deals with the Apache Indians, who lived in the Southwest (Arizona and New Mexico) during the 1880s and 1890s. I encourage you to turn up the parts where the Apaches talk. It’s amazing to hear their language.
