About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Recently a Navy SEALs team took down Osama Bin Laden after years of being on a manhunt. When they executed Osama, they used the name "Geronimo" as the keyword for Osama. This is appalling that they would associate the 'worlds most hated man' with a Native American Chief who is a hero among his people.

Apology for misuse of Geronimos name.

Greetings, President Obama

The Native American people is asking for an apology for the use of Geronimos name to identify Osama Bin Laden. As a Native American, I and others, have found this to be appalling.Native Americans have had to overcome many stigmas, and obstacles to get to where they are at. This dealt a low blow to our people as a whole. While we are very happy to bring the reign of Osama to an end, we are disheartened about this usage. All we ask for is a simple apology to Native Americans, and a promise that any other occurrences of similar nature, Native American names will not be used.
