Hope Geronimo Gonzales and her two children of Mescalero, New Mexico are descendants of Geronimo. The Apache leader is the great-grandfather of Hope's uncle, Robert Geronimo, of Mescalero, New Mexico. Hope Geronimo is the youngest Medicine Woman among all the Mescalero Apache women and she wonders if she’s received some of her ancestor’s spiritual gifts.“He was somebody who had visions, I think I do too, sometimes. I call out something and next thing you know, it happens.” Her grandparents always taught her, that Geronimo wasn’t primarily a leader, he was a Medicine Man. They also instructed her to include him, in her prayers. “Now that he’s a spirit, he’s a really powerful medicine man. I ask him, to help guide me.” Hope doesn’t deny, that she conducts both her parental and Medicine Woman duties with a grave sense of responsibility. “I wouldn’t want to be a disappointment to my ancestors.”
