Did Geronimo Get Kicked Out of Church ? Yes, Geronimo was indeed expelled from the Dutch Reformed Church.
He had converted to Christianity and joined the church while held as a prisoner of war at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. However, his inability to stop gambling led to his expulsion.
Geronimo himself expressed, in his autobiography, that he believed associating with Christians and attending church would improve his character, and he initially found the church helpful. However, he found it difficult to adhere to the church's rules, particularly regarding gambling and alcohol, and ultimately told the pastor he would return to the beliefs of his ancestors. He was suspended from church membership in 1907.

"The villains are fairly obvious in “Flower Moon,” but Scorsese asks audiences to take a wider look at systemic racism, historical injustice and the corruptive influence of power and money, intriguingly tying together our past and present." ~ Brian Truitt,
"Gladstone, in the rare Scorsese film that gives center stage to a female character, is the emotional core here, and it's her face that stays etched in our memory."
~ Jocelyn Noveck
“This is for every little Rez kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream and is seeing themselves represented in our stories told by ourselves, in our own words..." ~ Lily Gladstone
"We Are Still Here!"

THE UNTOLD STORY OF NATIVE AMERICA
Long before skyscrapers and highways…
There were vast plains, sacred rivers, and endless skies.
And there were the Native Americans – people who lived not on the land, but with the land.
To them, the Earth was not property.
She was Mother.
The rivers were not resources.
They were life itself.
The sky was not just above them.
It was their eternal roof.
For thousands of years, they hunted with respect, prayed to the wind, danced to the heartbeat of the drums, and passed wisdom from elders to children. They were free.
But then came a storm…
Ships from across the ocean.
Guns and diseases.
Treaties broken again and again.
Whole nations were forced from their lands. The Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole were driven away in the 1830s – a march of sorrow carved into history as the “Trail of Tears.”
Families torn apart.
Thousands died along the way.
A people’s heartbeat nearly silenced.
And yet… they did not vanish.
Their drums still thunder.
Their stories still echo in the wind.
Their spirit refuses to bow.
Today, powwow dances rise like flames against the night sky. Songs in ancient tongues still call to the ancestors. Every feather, every chant, every prayer says one truth:
“We are still here.”
The history of Native America is not just about loss.
It is about resilience.
It is about survival.
It is about a people who endured unimaginable pain – and yet, still protect the fire of their culture.
Remember this: Freedom was never free.
It was paid in blood.
In tears.
In voices carried by the wind.
So when you walk upon this land… pause. Listen. You might just hear the whispers of the plains, reminding us all:
Protect the Earth.
Honor culture.
Never forget

Quanah Parker was the last Chief of the Commanches and never lost a battle to the white man. His tribe roamed over the area where Pampas stands. He was never captured by the Army, but decided to surrender and lead his tribe into the white man's culture, only when he saw that there was no alternative.
His was the last tribe in the Staked Plains to come into the reservation system.
Quanah, meaning "fragrant," was born about 1850, son of Comanche Chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, a white girl taken captive during the 1836 raid on Parker's Fort, Texas. Cynthia Ann Parker was recaptured, along with her daughter, during an 1860 raid on the Pease River in northwest Texas. She had spent 24 years among the Comanche, however, and thus never readjusted to living with the whites again.
She died in Anderson County, Texas, in 1864 shortly after the death of her daughter, Prairie Flower. Ironically, Cynthia Ann's son would adjust remarkably well to living among the white men. But first he would lead a bloody war against them.
Quanah and the Quahada Comanche, of whom his father, Peta Nocona had been chief, refused to accept the provisions of the 1867 Treaty of Medicine Lodge, which confined the southern Plains Indians to a reservation, promising to clothe the Indians and turn them into farmers in imitation of the white settlers.
Knowing of past lies and deceptive treaties of the "White man", Quanah decided to remain on the warpath, raiding in Texas and Mexico and out maneuvering Army Colonel Ronald S. Mackenzie and others. He was almost killed during the attack on buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle in 1874. The U.S. Army was relentless in its Red River campaign of 1874-75. Quanah's allies, the Quahada were weary and starving.
Mackenzie sent Jacob J. Sturm, a physician and post interpreter, to solicit the Quahada's surrender. Sturm found Quanah, whom he called "a young man of much influence with his people," and pleaded his case. Quanah rode to a mesa, where he saw a wolf come toward him, howl and trot away to the northeast. Overhead, an eagle "glided lazily and then whipped his wings in the direction of Fort Sill," in the words of Jacob Sturm. This was a sign, Quanah thought, and on June 2, 1875, he and his band surrendered at Fort Sill in present-day Oklahoma

NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN HERITAGE MONTH.
It's a chance to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions and histories and important contributions of Indigenous people in our country, along with acknowledging their hardship and struggles both throughout history and in the present day.
There are over 9 million Native American Indians and Native Alaskans living in the United States today. With over 500 federally recognized tribes, there are hundreds of different cultures that are as unique as the people they represent. From artwork and literature to cuisine and music, there is much to appreciate and learn.
For example in the State of Wisconsin, there are 11 federally
recognized tribes. During this month take the time to learn,
grow, and be aware of our nation’s first residents...
39 distinct First American Nations reside in Oklahoma. Our stories do not begin and end with European contact. The Apache, Caddo, Tonkawa, and Wichita inhabited these lands before the United States was established. Some tribes also have a historical relationship to this region, including the Comanche, Kiowa, Osage, and Quapaw. Many of us are not in Oklahoma by choice as our peoples were removed and relocated from their homelands across the continent, but after nearly 200 years, our histories and cultural lifeways are now interwoven into this landscape. Celebrate the vibrancy and resiliency of our diverse cultures this month and every month!
