That is *why* Native Americans are so reluctant to allow their heritage to be used by non-natives. Being about 1/8th Cherokee, I can sympathise a bit to their plight (my great grandfather was full blooded). Although, not being in real contact with any native americans I can't truly empathize.
That said, I am not saying that the name Geronimo--a nationally historic figure--should be avoided at all costs. All I am saying is to understand where they are coming from.
