Well, that makes it much easier, then. The man's Indian name was "Goyathlay". "Geronimo" is Spanish for Jerome--the name was given to him by the Mexican government. So we should probably be alright if we don't name the project "Goyathlay".
Thanks for settling the matter, Andy. If HONOR has any further questions, I'll go down to their offices myself, since I live in Minneapolis and am one eighth Ojibwe, (FTR, we prefer the term "American Indians" ;-) Cheers, -- N.
