Yeah, the whole Geronimo thing is ridiculous, and either Dan or Keith brought it up that Native American history is kind of a stagnant field in terms of hot pop culture press power, a nice bout of perceived racism can really help a college history department out with all it's funding needs.
At the college I went to, we have the only department for the study of the Holocaust on the west coast. It's not a coincidence that the foremost Holocaust denier on the west coast lives in a compound in the same county, not 20 miles away. He earned my school a lot of money over the years, just by being nearby.
