Geronimo: An American Legend -- Wes Studi is GERONIMO and Jason Patric is U.S. Lieutenant Charles Gatewood in this classic story of the legendary Apache warrior. Despite an unusual bond and mutual respect, these two men are forced to square-off in a historic clash of culture, will and destiny. The American Experience: Season 21: Episode 7 -- Though the Cherokee embraced “civilization” and won recognition of tribal sovereignty in the U.S. Supreme Court, their resistance to removal from their homeland failed. Thousands were forced on a perilous march to Oklahoma. Avatar -- Clip: You should see your face
