Geronimo has studied Native American Indian ancestry back to the 1800’s when the Great Apache Chief “Geronimo” [1829-1906] was the chief of the Apache tribe. His name was GOYATHLAY, known to the white man as GERONIMO, whom he was named after. He married a young girl brought to him from the Navajo Santa Clara tribe near Pueblo, Mexico.

Together, these two tribes became the single most powerful group in the southwest region. Today, this tribe of ancestors lives above the 12,033 foot timberline high peaks near Flagstaff, Arizona. Mr. Velga visits often to study this ancestry and has collected, bought and been given many ancient pieces including ancient pottery, war clubs, healing devices, paintings on deerskins, carved figurines of women and children, knife blades, face masks, bowls, baskets, arrowheads, ceremonial head dresses and much more.
