WALK THE PROUD LAND

The story you are about to hear is true.

That's my father's story, as he told it to me.

It started long before I was born

on a hot dusty afternoon in 1874

When he arrived in Tucson by stagecoach.

- Sir, are you for a Mexican song? - I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry.

I play for one drink and sing for two.

- Maybe later. - But I'm thirsty now.

Here's how we do it, you start playing

and I will bring water.

Water?

And there they are at the top. I've never seen such easy targets.

I sorted out all six of them as they crossed the stream.

What is that?

Apache scalps. Savage. Four men and two women.

You must be very proud of yourself. Especially because of women.

Not.

They are worth less than men.

- Did they do something bad to you? - On the contrary.

They did us good. These scalps are worth it $300 when I cross the border.

And you call them savages.

Governor, Mr. John P.

- Clum has come to see you. - How are you? They said you would come.

Thank you for receiving me. These are my co-workers G. Powers, Lang, Chandlers and G.

Tripps.

Snyder, call General Wade.

- Yes sir. - I think this is all correct.

Of course,

sit down.

So Washington thinks it's a good idea for members of various religious organizations to look after the interests of Native Americans.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs thinks so. That idea is not bad

but I'm a little skeptical of how Reverend Clam will work.

I'm not a priest, sir.

You are not? But here it says that you are sent by the Dutch Reform Church.

Yes, I trained to be a priest, but I don't seem to be talented at it.

I think I will do better at this job.

This place is remote, that is, the

Eastern Churches are far from here.

How do they know you will understand our problems with the Indians?

The problems of human beings are the same everywhere. Whether they were Indians or not.

If they had seen what was left after the Jeromes, I doubt that they

would have tried to solve the problems of the oppressed savages.

This is General Wade, our district commander.

And this is Mr. Klam, General.

As you know Mr. Clam will take control of the Apache Reservation, San Carlos.

The situation is already under control.

I banished Jerome to Mexico.

He hasn't attacked in two months.

Virtually every Apache on the

reservation is under 24/7 guard.

I mentioned that in my report.

They have read many reports in Washington, sir.

It turns out that over the last 10 years the military has been costing us $3 million a year

trying to exterminate the Apaches.

And she didn't succeed in that.

We will succeed if those who have no experience with Indians do not interfere with us.

Even if you could exterminate them, it is not human.

It is the only treatment these savages understand.

So far they are just such a treatment, what you call it, and you got it.

The Ministry of Home Affairs finally realized that

it was their duty to protect the surrendered tribes.

It was decided to stop their extermination and to make useful citizens out of them.

Helpful Apache citizens?

Yes sir.

How do you plan to do that?

I'm not sure, sir. I've never seen an Apache.

I am ordered to cooperate with you Mr. Klam.

Captain Larson commands the cavalry at San Carlos. I advise you to listen to it.

Gentlemen, thank you for having me.

Feel free to call us whenever you need us.

- Sales are prohibited in the reserve. - I'm not selling anything.

Then explain why you're wearing all this.

- I'm looking for Captain Larson. - I'm Captain Larson.

What do you want?

- You are a new agent? - That's right.

General Wade told me about you.

Sergeant Sweeney, take him to his quarters.

I understand.

This way.

- How long are you staying? - Why?

The last one lasted three weeks.

- Is that a record? - For those who survived.

Here we are.

I'm Geronimo! I kill! I kill!

I'm not afraid of white people!

Slowly. How are you guys?

Here you go.

What happened to her?

She mourns her husband.

It is important to those Apache women.

They cut their hair, stain their clothes

with coal and show no interest in other men.

So those are the chambers?

No one lived long enough to fix them.

Now we're done with what happened to Eve in paradise.

- Huh? - Don't you read the Bible, sergeant?

I didn't sooner.

But you'd better get a gun.

Why?

To begin with, because of the snakes.

- What is going on here? - Welcome Committee.

It's very pleasant here, Captain.

What is going on there?

They bring them from the work they were doing today.

Who are they?

The guy in charge is Eskiminzin, the chief, and behind is his son Santos.

Why are they chained?

They took the whole gang out of the reservation, after the attack by Geronim.

- They wanted to join him? - Not.

They left because they were scared.

- Of whom? - From U.S.

- Armies. - I understand.

- How did you get them back? - They came back by themselves.

Outside without weapons, they would starve to death in a few months. And this is how you rewarded them for coming back on their own?

Orders must be obeyed.

Just a moment, Captain.

- I want you to take off their chains. - You have a lot to learn about Indians.

The chiefs are bound so that others would have no one to follow.

If we free them, anything can happen, as it did.

I insist that you release them.

What you insist on is irrelevant.

Captain, you are ordered to cooperate with me.

And as you said, orders must be obeyed.

Listen Klam, let me handle it Indians. This is about the military.

- Not any more. - All right, Clam.

Thank you, Captain.

Untie them.

I'm a new agent.

While I'm here, there will be no chains. You are free to return to your people.

Tianay,

the time for your regrets is long past.

I want you to let your hair down

and don't cover the beauty of your face with dust.

Run, run.

Thank you.

Many want to thank you for freeing the chiefs.

I am one of them.

It should have been done a long time ago.

Where did you get the power to command the soldiers? No one has succeeded.

That's politics.

What is that?

We better not go into that.

What is that?

You freed them and now they are celebrating.

Those are war cries!

They drink tiswin, which is forbidden.

That's how you thank the man who freed the chiefs?

He is white and an enemy!

This is what your stupidity has caused.

If you had not freed them from their chains, this would not happen.

Captain, get your men back.

Immediately!

Disalin started first.

We bring him to you to punish him.

No, you should decide the punishment.

You are the chief of your people.

We are a defeated people. There is no longer a need for an Apache chief.

Has! A lot has been taken from you, not just the country.

A lot of pride and an entire way of life has been taken away from you.

I'm here to make sure some of those things are returned.

I'm not here to manage the reserve, but to help you.

Thank you once again.

Until you are good for your people, you will not be the deputy chief.

Free him.

This is military headquarters, Clam.

You have to log in if you want to see me.

I won't see you again, Captain.

Tomorrow morning you and your army will leave San Carlos.

Why do you think you have so many powers?

If you had bothered to read the order I gave you, you would have seen that President Grant gave them to me.

All right, Clam.

I don't know a better way to get rid of you quickly than to leave you here alone.

We will miss you captain.

Where are the soldiers going?

I told them to leave the reservation.

For how long?

Forever, I hope.

- Is that true? - Yes, Eskiminzin.

I dreamed about this but I didn't believe it.

I hope a lot of good will come from this.

Too many Apaches have suffered because of the mistakes of a few.

We know that crime must be punished, but the punishment must be just.

I have been trying to understand how white people understand justice for a long time.

Here's how I see it.

We will carry out the punishment ourselves, own police and court.

When an Apache commits a crime

he will be arrested by the Apache police and brought before a court which will be composed of you and your chiefs.

We have never had the opportunity to say that we

can think like humans, that we can think with our heads.

Tell your people what I said. I believe that whatever you decide will be good.

The good spirit has not forgotten us. Maybe.

These are the police.

Perfect.

I am Taglito.

I am Alchis.

I'm Cheto.

I'm Matla.

And your son, Santos?

Later, maybe.

Tell your people that from tomorrow there will be work for everyone who wants it.

And that they will be paid for their work.

They will build buildings

and there will be stores where they can buy a lot of things with their money.

That's good.

Good morning.

This is Tono, my son.

Didn't you say you weren't afraid?

Forgive him, he is young.

But maybe he will learn not to be afraid.

Eskiminzin sent me to cook for you and stay with you.

You must cook better than me

and I know that Eskiminzin wants to show kindness...

I wanted that too.

You wanted to?

It's not rude because I'm a widow.

Apaches believe that a woman cannot belong to a man unless they are married,

but if she is a widow,

then it's fine.

No, that's impossible.

I'm not like other widows I know.

I belonged only to my husband!

I didn't mean that.

I'll be embarrassed if you take me back.

Eskiminzin's wish is to make you happy.

Stop.

You...

What is your name?

Tianai.

If you want to stay...

Do not worry.

This is for you.

For a country like this, it's better than the clothes you're wearing.

It sure is.

According to Apache tradition, a gift is not accepted if it is not reciprocated.

All I have is your Eskiminzin.

Would you give it?

And more than that.

No no no. This is enough!

- It looks better on you anyway. - Thank you.

Eskiminzin, I wanted to talk about Tianay.

Being liked?

I'm sure she's a good woman, but I already have a girlfriend, who will be my wife.

Where is she?

He's not here to take care of you, so I sent you Tianay.

She is a good woman. Her husband was a warrior.

She is as if dead, since her husband died.

You should be proud that she has found a reason to live since you came.

According to my tradition, I can only be with one, with the one I promised myself to.

Will you bring Tianay back?

No, but I wanted you to understand.

One must listen to one's heart. Let yours be wise.

I hope so.

Why are you drawing sparrow's legs?

I am sending a message to a loved one who is far away.

Sparrow's feet?

Those are the letters.

When lined up correctly, form words.

Then this paper will travel by stagecoach and then by train

and after a long time it will reach the person I am writing to.

What is your name?

Clam.

Clam, funny name.

Mr. Klum, for boys like you.

Come on now run so I can finish this.

It's called Clam. That makes me laugh.

Tono, it's not nice to mock.

It doesn't matter when there is no meat. We learned to starve.

But hunting has been a part of our tradition for thousands of years.

To move and hunt, and not to live in the village, where the meat is in the pens.

I know that, Eskimintiz.

You said you would give us our old life back.

Our weapons were taken away.

If we had it, we could hunt the meat ourselves.

It may not be possible for me to give you a weapon.

But I promised food and I promise to get it.

A man can promise a lot, but it means nothing to my stomach.

There isn't much beef left, and not much that can be bought in the grocery store.

It's like living with soldiers.

I was waiting for the beef to arrive, but since

she's gone I'm going to Tucson to find out why.

I'm Geronimo! I kill all my enemies!

Wait a minute, young man!

You will forget about killing.

You will have to be different from Geronimo.

I will be a great chief like my father! He killed a lot of enemies.

No, Tono, that's not for you.

You must learn that even though you Apaches are proud, you have a lot to learn from white people.

It's their world now and you have to fit in.

I will be a good chief.

I'm sure of it!

And I will kill all my enemies!

He is a little warrior. Do you mind?

Of course not.

I've never seen you dressed like that before.

My grief is over.

How long should it last?

It's not a matter of time, but in the heart and body.

My hair will grow fast and I will be more beautiful.

You've always been beautiful but don't let her go.

Sir!

Sir!

Mr. Clam.

We met in Tucson. Do you remember?

Yes, I remember. Something about the hair.

It seems to me that you went across the border to get some money.

Should I tell my friends about it?

I've had worse injuries.

- What happened? - They hunted on our land.

That meat belongs to the Apaches.

Who shot you?

What are we going to do now? How will we punish them?

If the Apaches had been caught stealing

meat from the whites they would have been killed.

Well, we are not that civilized.

Take that meat. We will hand them over to their police.

What is this?

They hunted on the territory of the reserve.

We didn't think anything bad and we were hunting there before.

That reserve is intended for protection Apache.

They wanted to kill him.

It seems fine to me.

There is no harm.

I want these two charged with attempted murder and put on trial.

You're not going to listen to this lunatic, sheriff?

I'm paid to listen to everything.

You have the right to appeal, if you want.

Come on, split people.

I ordered beef three weeks ago and still nothing.

I don't know who is behind this, the governor

but no one will force us to starve by not sending us beef.

- Who would do such a thing? - Almost everyone in Tucson.

You confiscated a lot of guns. I want you to return them.

Should we give guns to the Apaches?

- To people who are hungry. - I can't allow that!

Those rifles belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

- Technically yes. - Order your men to give them to me.

- They will be ready this afternoon. - Thank you.

Taglito, you don't seem to have many friends in this town.

Maybe as much as you.

Why do Apaches use the word maybe so much?

Maybe because we are never sure of things.

Hey, Clam!

Why aren't you wearing a uniform?

I divorced the army.

You must come and have a drink in that name, Clam.

Clam!

Here are the names I like. Come on, Clam!

I'll be back soon, Taglito.

Maybe.

Hey!

- You still on your feet? - Of course.

How much do you drink, you should be dead by now.

I'm not teaching you how to work in a bar, so don't teach me how to drink.

Just pour me that cactus juice...

I mean... give me a bottle!

He treats me like I'm a drunk!

For the army! Because it's great not to belong to her anymore!

Any plans, Sweeney?

Yes! That is, I had them, but now they are a little blurry.

I think I'll go back home to Iowa.

I was a blacksmith before I joined the army.

Maybe I'll work on that.

After so many years on horseback, back to horses again?

I got tired of riding, but not from shoeing.

And it's a well-paid job.

You know, it's really nice in Iowa.

Everything is green when it grows.

My stomach is full of dust and cactus.

Look who's here!

How did you two get out of jail?

You didn't think the sheriff took you seriously, did you?

Hey, why should they be in jail?

This Indian lover accused us of shooting an Apache.

Hey schoolboy, you don't go to jail for killing an Apache.

A medal is already being won.

And you fool, be careful who you call an Indian lover?

- This man is my friend. - Then it applies to you too!

You hang out with a man who lives with the Apaches.

You know, I'm not sure I'd ask you out, but it's worth a try.

Looks like I will.

I was supposed to leave for Iowa this morning.

And miss this?

Was it a fight or a nightmare?

Whatever it was, we were in the minority.

There's no way I'm going to learn how to stop the leak.

- You were good. - Well, on my first day as a civilian, I lose in a fight.

If you were sober you might be better.

Sober, I can't even beat a native grandmother!

Where are we?

We're not in Iowa.

What are you wearing, stones?

- No, guns. - Rifles?

We will hunt in San Carlos.

If you give these guns to the Indians, they will hunt you.

I'll take the risk.

When you're up there, say hello to some friends.

Hey, stop!

I need you Sweeney. To train the police for me.

Which police?

Made up of the best Apache warriors.

Those guys in the salon hit you harder than I thought.

Wait a minute, I want to talk.

No more talking or you'll get me into more trouble.

There will be no trouble.

Indians with guns and no trouble?

Unfollow me!

Look, if you don't want what I'm suggesting, then you can work in a store and do your own shopping.

I'm not a salesman, but a blacksmith.

You could make good money.

- To make money? - Yes.

- What is this soldier doing here? - He is with us now.

You promised us beef, but I don't see her.

But he gave us our guns back! That we can hunt by ourselves.

Tomorrow they will be given to the best hunters.

They will be able to keep them for a day or two, and then they have to give them back to me.

This rule must remain because if someone makes a

problem with these guns, the soldiers will come back.

We understood the rule.

Taglido, let the police choose their weapons first.

They will be armed at all times.

Cheto! Achiz!

Uh, you can see that he hasn't regretted it in a long time.

- What happened to her? - Now let it go.

What's wrong with your eye, sir? Did you drink tismen, maybe?

Maybe, but let it go now.

I brought you something.

A toy gun.

Now you can be the chief of police.

Where are the bullets? I can't shoot without bullets.

You will get them when you learn how to use them properly.

I'm Geronimo!

I know you feel in your heart that you are doing the right thing for my people

by giving them guns, but for you it is a great danger.

I don't think so.

I know it is so. Many here will hate you forever.

Santos.

Give him six bullets.

That's more than enough for a hunter like you.

Enjoy watching the movie and wish you a tattoo

Does it feel weird to hold a gun?

The weapon in the hands of the Apache is as normal as the sun on his face.

You are not tame like many here.

There is no honor when one is tamed.

Maybe guns should be used for something other than deer hunting.

Good to see you're a hunter again.

It's even better when you have a woman to hunt for.

- I know a lot of them that you could have. - You know what I mean.

Before that stranger came, you should have married me.

I told my friends about it.

Maybe you were talking without knowing what I was thinking.

I knew what you were thinking and you knew it too.

Everything is different now. It's almost like you're his wife.

- Your father ordered me to. - There is something more to it. Your eyes are shining.

Look at your skin color, before you forget who you are.

Good luck hunting.

9-7-3-7-7-9.

Disaline.

6 bullets.

I hope you get lucky. Keep her until tomorrow night, but don't leave the reservation.

Apache warriors!

Come with me!

Kill the white people!

You are listening to a

chief who is a woman!

Come with me! Be men again!

Tono, come back!

Apache!

Now you have a weapon

again You are free!

Fight like your ancestors did! Kill the whites!

You fool, you gave that maniac a rifle.

You're right. I wonder what they'll say in Tucson about one Apache killing another to save a white man.

There were more than two Apaches.

They were brothers.

I'll be right back.

Apaches know how to give some of the pain to another.

I'll take yours.

Thanks, but I'm fine.

You always run away from me. A lot of them say I'm not ugly.

Maybe white people see things differently.

You are not ugly Tianay.

Actually, you'd better be.

Would you prefer me to be ugly?

No, that's not the point. I already have a girlfriend who will be my wife.

But it is good when a man has more wives.

And for women, because that's how they share the work.

This is not allowed in our country, neither before God nor before the law.

Maybe your God is good.

Maybe he won't mind if you are different from others in one way.

Tianay, it is written in our Bible: Our God is a jealous God.

Like our women.

Taglito killed his own brother.

He killed him for love of you, and not because of hatred towards Disalin.

Now they will take you for a brother, if you accept it.

It will be my honor.

Your bloods mix, but still they are special.

The blood of your ancestors is mixed and will be passed on to your children.

Because blood is life and never dies.

And you share it.

Even when you're far away you will

be together you are joined as brothers.

Turn!

Keep the beat!

You are like a father who takes care of many children.

More like a priest with a large flock.

Help me understand.

Well, Tianay.

There are many leaders in the white man's religion.

Some are called priests.

Their task is to teach people to live according to God's rules.

The golden rule is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Is that why white people kill Apaches, that the Apaches would kill them?

No, but that's the only way I can explain it to you.

I have a lot to learn.

Even my whole life is not enough to understand everything.

It's not for anyone.

In fact, most of us don't even understand ourselves.

I understand myself.

Okay.

Corporal Riley, give willingly to the people.

Peacefully.

Willingly!

- They seem fine. - You should, I've worn out my lungs.

- You're not going to give up, are you, Sweeney? - No, but I learned something.

I will not become an Indian like you.

I need civilization, wild women and strong whiskey!

Three days in Tucson would cure me.

I think we can do without you so much.

- While you're there, bring candy for the store. - Sweets?

Miller also has a piece of red silk fabric.

I wanted to buy it before they waited for us in the salon.

- Can you buy it for me? - A piece of red silk cloth

and the biggest hangover this side of the Mississippi!

You're back, Sweeney.

Looks like you had fun. Is Tucson still in place?

Partially.

I told you I'd bring the biggest hangover this side of the Mississippi.

You definitely are.

You didn't think I was going to forget this, did you?

Thanks, Sweeney.

Now I just need a three-day sleep.

This is for you.

No, I have nothing for you.

I know it's an Indian custom, but I'm

giving you this as a white man's custom.

And then it's okay. Take it, please.

Red brings luck to the Apaches.

I know, that's why I chose her.

I hope it brings you a lot of luck.

Clam, I almost forgot.

This has arrived for you.

From Mary. Coming to Tucson next week.

Which cannot be said for me.

We'll get married right away. You know what we have planned?

Let's have a celebration here. Let's invite a lot of people, governors, generals...

You didn't write to her about those big plans, did you?

Of course I am.

You don't think all these people will come.

Why not? It is an opportunity for them to see how the reserve works.

Yes, great idea. We will invite everyone.

I'm going to take a nap now. Wake me up for the wedding.

Oh, John!

- Mary, you are beautiful! - Beautiful? I'm covered in dust from head to toe!

And this carriage, I don't think we missed a single stone in Arizona.

I also know where it hurts.

I'll feel much better after a warm bath.

Is that her?

Everyone thinks you're going to get married Indian woman.

Mary, this is Compos, he will be our witness.

- Really? - Don't worry, I'll take care of myself.

Let's get it over with.

The judge will go to lunch.

Judge!

You wrote that we were getting married in San Carlos.

Not everything went as I planned.

And the governor and all his friends?

I thought we were going to have a big wedding.

I also brought my wedding dress.

Mary, there were some problems.

I sent invitations but no one wanted to come. People don't really like me here.

They don't like you? Why?

Because of my Apaches. I'll explain later.

I would like that bath.

My wedding dress is very beautiful.

But the only important thing is you and me.

They are waiting for us, come on.

Compos, keep the judge in the office.

Mary, you will wear that wedding dress.

Mary, do you take this man as your husband

to honor and obey until death do you part?

Yes.

Apache! Apache!

John, do you take this woman as your wife to obey and honor her until death do you part?

Apache!

Yes.

Then I declare you

husband and wife!

- John, what's going on? - I'm not sure, but I have an idea.

Cheto, stop!

To the left!

Willingly!

- What happens? - We came for a wedding.

I thought you would be happy to see your friends.

Thanks, Sweeney, but we're already married.

Mary, this is Tom Sweeney.

- Good day. - Good day Mrs.

And his police.

Gentlemen, my wife.

You are in good hands now, ma'am

I'm sure.

Looks like we're going to have a wedding party after all.

- What are these savages doing here, Clam? - Good morning, general, governor.

They came to my wedding, since no one else could.

To Governor Safford, General Wade, meet my wife, Mary.

- Disarm the Apaches! - Just a little, general.

Those guns are empty.

Show him Sweeney.

Cheto, calm down!

Prepare to fire.

Fire away.

Well, now they are empty, sir.

Who is this man?

Your former co-worker.

- Associate? - Yes, Sergeant Sweeney.

He recently left the cavalry.

Is that correct, General?

Maybe they'd better get out of town.

They have no bad intentions, sir.

I know you find it hard to believe, but I wish you would let them stay.

- We would like to entertain your people. - My people?

I see you have become Apaches.

Maybe.

We would like to put on a show for you, a tribal dance.

Let's call it cultural exchange.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

If the Apaches want to be peaceful, we owe it to them to cooperate.

We cooperate!

Nice to meet you, mrs. Clam.

I wish you a happy marriage.

You will certainly not be bored with a man like this.

Thank you sir.

You see Mary, your arrival has brought us happiness.

This is the first time in history that Apaches and whites met like this, in peace.

We should be proud.

Sweeney, prepare the program for tonight.

Do you have to start it right now, John?

It should because...

because... maybe it wouldn't.

Tom, you go and I'll join you a little later.

Much later.

Very interesting, Klam.

All these dances have a meaning?

Yes sir. It's a war dance.

Every time they jump, they kill an enemy.

Taglito killed someone important.

Probably a general.

I have to give you credit, Klam.

A lot of them opposed you and your ideas

maybe we were wrong.

- I would like my people to hear you. - I'll tell them!

From now on you have my full support.

And there will be no more problems with groceries.

Thank you, Governor.

By the way, I was very impressed with your wife.

Please convey to her my apologies for not coming to your wedding.

- Of course. - Thank you.

- Excuse me. - Of course.

- Good night, General. - Goodnight

To the right!

Cheto, stop!

Are you ready to leave the white man now?

Come with me and join Jeronimo.

We were not born to raise corn and cattle and listen to the white man.

So you claim your father is wrong and Geronimo is?

No luck in any way

but better to be dead than a subject!

I buried my husband and I would rather he was a subject.

- Your wife? - Yes, this is Mary.

This is Eskiminzin, chief of San Carlos.

How are you.

To be a good woman, she must be strong, carry wood.

I like to see that.

Make her run a lot while you ride alongside carrying the jeep.

Let him anoint his feet with animal fat.

It will make them stronger.

You're right.

I will start the treatment already in the morning.

Have you brought the presents yet, sir?

Of course, I brought you a new friend.

- Mary, this is Tono. - Hello, Tono.

And this is his mother, Tianay.

I'm glad.

Welcome.

Thank you.

This is our home.

Home?

Did you say home?

There is something strange about these houses,

they are cold in the summer and warm in the winter.

Well, that's something too.

Mary, I guess I should have described the living conditions here in more detail.

But I was afraid you wouldn't come.

Not even wild cats would stop me from coming to you.

There are them too.

I'll lock the door.

With a little effort, we could turn this house into a real nesting place.

Oh, sorry. Your luggage, ma'am.

I'm going to get my things.

Tom lived here, now it is moving to the store.

Sorry, I hope that's not a problem for you.

No, I'll be fine.

You don't have to move right away.

Madam, if I had married such a woman, I definitely wouldn't want him hanging around.

I wouldn't want to rush you Sweeney, but I will help you with things.

Maybe he won't be such a bad husband.

It must be hard, just put it on the bed, thanks.

That would be all.

You may go now, thank you.

I would stay.

Okay.

- So I can stay? - If you want.

You don't mind if he has multiple wives?

Of course it bothers me!

But you said I could stay.

You mean forever?

I do not understand.

Think you live here?

I took good care of him.

Now that you are here, it will be easier for us.

You used to live here?

John, I want to talk.

Of course dear. What is it?

Would you excuse us.

Why didn't you tell me about her?

- I don't know, I wanted to. - She says she lived here with you.

Mary, many of their customs will seem strange to you.

Weird! This is beyond weird!

You don't understand, Eskiminzin gave it to me.

Gifted?

Yes, I mean no.

They sent her to take care of the house.

I tried to get her back, but they are very sensitive.

- I failed in that. - According to her, it seemed completely different.

Well, it's not different and I'm sure she didn't mean it that way.

Then just tell her to go away and be done with it.

We can't just chase her away. That would be ugly and she would be offended.

She would be offended, and what do you think about me?

John, what has happened to your morals since you got here?

Nothing happened to my morals.

Nothing has changed. Mary, I know it's hard for you to understand

them, but I hope that in time you will learn to love and respect them, like I do.

Where is the gentleman?

Where is the gentleman, the lady?

It's inside, why?

Geronimo is coming!

Geronimo!

I chased him on two occasions, but now I see him for the first time.

I wonder what he wants.

This is not your country, Geronimo. Why did you come?

To see my brothers, the Apaches.

Let me see if there are any more warriors among them.

- I need Apache warriors. - Why?

To take them to the end of the road, where the dead await the Jeromes?

All wise men know that even thousands of battles did not stop the white man.

Are you afraid of white people?

Taglito!

You fought by my side.

You, Santos!

And you fought with me.

I have their word that they will not leave San Carlos.

But I'm telling you all, if you think you'll live better with Geronimo, go.

You got your answer, Geronimo.

Now listen to me.

You're welcome here, Geronimo.

You and your warriors, if you want to live in peace.

- But there are certain rules, which must be respected. - What rules?

- You are not allowed to leave the reservation and you have to surrender your weapons. - They have guns.

They are the police and they must be armed.

If you come here, your chiefs can become one of them.

Your guns will be safe and the hunters will get them.

In addition, all others must be unarmed.

Better cut off our hands, than to take our weapons.

We don't think so.

I will talk to my people.

We better warn the army that it is Geronimo nearby.

Not yet. He said he would talk to his people.

Let's give him time. Let him bring them if he wants.

He is very brave.

He is the first white man to talk to Jeronimo and survive.

I am proud to serve him.

I want to thank you for taking care of

Mr. Klam, but from now on I can do it myself.

You will be much happier with your own.

It's not up to you to tell me to leave.

Listen Tianay, this is my house and my husband, you don't belong here!

The main man is in the house, not a woman! He is pleased with me.

He told you that?

Words are unnecessary.

I can see it in his eyes and the way he treats me.

You're going to get out of here right now!

What is going on here?

I've had enough of her insinuations!

Either she goes or I do!

I'm sorry Tianay, but

you're going to have to go.

You want me to go?

That's better.

Mary is my wife and I told you before,

a white man can only have one wife.

- I wish you would... - She acted like she belonged here!

It's like it belongs to you!

Mary, you are being childish.

We have a lot of work to do here, and it will have to be done by adults.

- Why are you crying? - Because of my mother.

- I'm leaving this place. - Where are you going?

To join Jeronimo.

He is a great leader. His wife does not tell him what to do.

Geronimo is a great warrior!

Do you want to come with me?

To the mountains?

To the mountains. Here we go!

Goodnight.

Mary, stop. Please.

What happened today with Tianay could cause bad feelings among the people.

And what about our feelings?

My feelings for you will never change.

But, as she said, it would be nice to have another wife, wouldn't it?

Maybe three or four!

To tell you the truth, I had five in mind.

It's not funny to me.

- I am glad you think so. - Dear?

Yes, when a man loves a woman, he is glad if she is a little jealous.

- I'm not jealous. - Are.

I'd be jealous too if Santos or some other guy liked her.

How can you even think such a thing?

You are for me.

John, that girl loves you.

Yes, I think she likes me.

Mary, there was a problem, but not to me, but to her.

But if you ignore it like I did, it will pass.

They don't understand how a man can always want only one woman.

I don't understand either,

but that's how it is.

I'm sorry honey.

Yes?

Two children are missing.

- Who? - Tono and Pika.

We looked for them everywhere.

They are nowhere to be found.

I know Tonos, he is looking to Jerome.

- To Jerome? - Only talk about him.

- I think I can find him. - Maybe we should send our police?

Not.

It's my fault that Tono left.

I think John should go.

I'm going with you.

Come on, Pika.

I'm tired.

- Warriors never tire. - And I'm hungry. The warriors get hungry.

Geronimo will feed us. They will give us food and weapons.

We will kill a lot of enemies.

I don't want to kill. I'm cold. I want to go home.

You are not brave.

Yes, but I'm more afraid than hungry.

- What is that? - Coyote.

- Coyote? - Yes.

Coyote is very curious. Like a lion.

Hurry up, we're almost there.

Pika, Pika, wait for me!

You see, I will protect you.

Sir!

Let me talk to Tony.

Why have you come, sir?

We couldn't let you go.

We need your help in San Carlos.

I will never be the chief there. I will join Jeronimo.

Life with Jeronimo is difficult. His warriors are always hungry.

They can't stop and be in warm wigwams like yours.

- Because the soldiers are always chasing them. - I want to live with you.

Now that I have a wife there is not enough room.

I thought my mother was your wife.

No, but I will be very happy if I have a son like you.

Then you will be old enough to teach him to run, hunt and swim, like an Apache.

I want to be your son.

Maybe you two can be blood brothers, like Taglito and me.

There are many reasons why I need you Tono.

Tell me you won't run away again.

Okay.

Geronimo!

Geronimo!

There are seriously wounded in the back.

Geronimo attacked the car. The soldiers chased him away.

Soldiers.

They will arrive before sunset.

- Let's go far away from here, Eskiminzin. - To the mountains, to die of hunger?

Should we live like rabbits? Never!

We have guns, we will join Geronimo.

- He does not live subdued. - But he won't live long.

It is better to die than to let the soldiers...

We will go, but we will not join Geronimo.

Listen to me, you must not leave San Carlos, it belongs to you.

It will belong to us if we stay alive.

Better let them go, you've seen what happens when the military takes over.

I won't let them tie me up again!

Get your weapon! Let's join Jeronimo!

Are you crazy?

If you want a weapon, you'll have to kill me first.

- We have no choice. - There is a choice.

Geronimo must be stopped.

Otherwise, he will continue to kill.

You and your police can find the Geronim. If you catch him there will be no more trouble.

Geronimo has a lot of warriors.

He is right! They have no chance against him!

Even your white brother opposes you!

Then take me to him.

You would go to the Jeromes?

Yes, I will try to convince him that he is wrong and live in peace.

You will never succeed.

But I will take you to him.

He is very brave.

Let all the hunters go with him.

Taglito, give every man who comes with us a rifle.

Chito, fill the cart with groceries.

Wait a minute, this won't work for you.

You're out of your mind! Leave this to the military.

That's their job. My job is to protect these people from both the army and the Geronim!

I heard what you're up to, John.

- Talk to him, tell him to blow me dry. - He doesn't want to.

This is something I have to do Mary. I thought you would understand.

I tried.

It was not easy for me.

I wasn't raised for this kind of life, but I tried to fit in.

I tried John, because I love you.

But it seems that is not enough.

To you, Indians are above all else.

I didn't even come here to be a widow.

I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart John, do not go.

I'll be back.

I'm not strong enough to stay and wait to see if that happens.

Tom, go to Tucson with Mary and watch over her.

I'm going with you.

Yes, I know I should be shot for what I say.

They probably will.

My son is also going.

All right, Santos.

May the good spirit accompany you.

Thank you Tianay.

Forward, march!

Where are you going?

I'm coming back home!

But if you leave he will turn to me.

Isn't that what you want?

Yes, I want it.

He loves my people.

He is a strong man, just like my husband was.

Such a man should be loved by his wife.

She should bend with him, as a tree bends in the wind.

You must value his life more than your own.

Because a woman gives a man strength. So that he would give it to the others.

I am not strong like your people.

We are strong because life is hard for us.

As yours will be if you stay.

If you go, I'll take care of him.

But he loves you.

We will camp here.

- Are you angry, sir? - I'm not.

Actually, I'm happy you're with us. Time to learn your lesson.

What will they learn? How does Geronimo fight?

Maybe it would be safer to just tell him about it.

I don't think Geronimo will hurt him.

It might not matter, but I spent a lot of time in the military trying

to catch Jeronim, how many do you think it will take?

Not for long, maybe.

- Where do you think it is? - Oh, Caliente.

Oh Caliente, you have the wrong address.

We looked for him there more than ten times and he was never there.

He was always there. Your army moves as quietly as a bison.

How far is it to Oho Caliente?

- One more day. - Two.

I say one.

Let it be two days. We will live a day longer.

In the meantime, come up with a trap to catch Jeronim.

It won't work like that, Tom.

You know the military has been trying to outsmart him for years. He's too smart to fall into a trap.

Let's be smart and go back to San Carlos.

We just need to fall into his trap.

Is that smart for you?

That is, to convince him that we have fallen into his trap.

What is the terrain like around Oho Caliente?

I'll show you, watch.

Here the plain is surrounded

by mountains. Like this.

They have seen our police and know that

we are too few to fight, but they do not

know that we are bringing reinforcements.

But there are still three times as many.

We will have to surprise them.

If we split up and send one part of the police,

others can come over the mountains from the other side.

Now you're thinking like an Apache.

No, like Gideon.

Who?

Gideon, he defeated the enemy with God's help.

- It is written in the Bible, Psalms 7 and 8. - The Bible?

Gideon had fewer soldiers than the Midianites.

God told him to divide the people into three companies and surround the camp.

At the given signal, they blew the trumpets.

The Midinaites were afraid, thinking there were thousands of them.

It is written in the Bible: All the

soldiers were in their places around the

camp and everyone in the camp started to run away.

Yes, but that Gideon never fought the Apaches.

We can't possibly kill enough of them.

We will not kill.

If we fire bullets into the air at the same time, the echo in the

mountain will make them think there are five times more of us.

This is the craziest thing I've ever heard.

You saw those mountains, no one can climb them.

You think like a soldier.

Can you arrive with part of the company in time?

We will leave immediately, and you leave in the morning.

Taglito, when I stop the car, that will be the signal to shoot in the air.

Sweeney, you go with Taglit.

Santos will lead my group.

I better stay with you.

I will be fine with Santos.

I better stay with you.

Taglito doesn't trust Santos, and neither do I.

I'll be fine.

Don't turn your back on him, no matter what the Bible says.

Enjoy watching the movie and wish you a tattoo

A white man from San Carlos comes with those called by the police.

- Who leads them? - Santos.

- How many are there? - Twenty of them.

Twenty?

- Are you sure there are no more? - Does not have.

We are in great danger.

- Do they carry guns? - Everything but white.

He makes war with words, but we can use guns.

Shall we sort them out?

No, we'll wait for them here, trembling like leaves.

Not!

This is better.

It will take us an hour to climb, we don't have that much time.

A gunshot would have warned them. You, come with me.

I came to talk to you, after the last pt.

Last time for you, maybe.

Many white people rest here forever.

And they do not sleep peacefully like brave men, because they died as women.

Screaming and showing pain.

Enough killing. Let it stop.

It will stop when there are no

more white dogs on Apache land.

You and your warriors must surrender.

Surrender to the United States government Country.

That's why you've come so far, to tell us that?

I already asked you to come to the San Carlos and you live in peace

so that your people would not suffer anymore. Now I will ask you one more time.

Yes, that would be good.

All day we will sit in front

of wigwams like this woman.

And when they tame us, then they'll give us guns to guard white people like you.

Do you want it?

You will come with us.

You speak boldly, but you won't speak for long.

And when your mouth is full of dust, I will spit in them.

Geronimo, you're

under arrest.

Now tell your warriors to lay down their weapons.

- What are you doing here, Wade? - I'm in charge now.

From today, as a representative Indians, you will answer only for them.

You will answer directly to me.

You cannot mix civilian and military rules. I will not be responsible for the consequences.

This territory is under a state of alert Mr. Klam. The military now controls it again.

Here is your state of alert, general. It's Geronimo.

My Indian police caught him.

Shall we chain them again?

Guide him and punish him.

But lead your army, we don't need it!

Whether you need it or not, I have orders from Washington

to put this place under military control.

And I'm afraid that...

I know, General, orders must be obeyed.

That's what I've been hearing from the military ever since I arrived.

Well, I've had enough.

I will not live here under martial law.

I quit!

Stop!

You told us not to run when the soldiers come.

And now you're running away.

Please listen to me.

A lot has changed.

I believe that soldiers will not stay forever.

And I love you like a son and a brother.

If you go, we are lost.

Who will take care of us?

John is right.

I didn't expect to find you here, Mary.

When you left, I grew up.

Sometimes growing up takes time.

And sometimes it's over in a few days.

I think now I understand what it means to belong more to someone else than to yourself.

As you belonged to them.

Eskiminzin, as soon as I take a bath,

you and I will talk to this stubborn general.

I'm a gentleman!

I have captured all my enemies!

John Clum spent the rest of his life fighting for

the welfare of the Indians, but his dream of self-rule

realized only much later, after his death.

In November 1955, the United States government The state handed over the administration
