Poco antes de morir, anciano y recluído en la reserva de Fort Sill, Oklahoma, lejos de su Arizona natal, sabe que el Gobierno norteamericano no tiene la menor intención de cumplir sus promesas y que su mundo esta condenado a desaparecer. Geronimo accede a dictar sus memorias al inspector escolar S. M. Barrett. Se sabe el ultimo eslabon de una estirpe de hombres libres, el otrora poderoso Pueblo del Aguila. Quiere dar al mundo su propia version, intima y apasionada, de lo que significo, y a la postre costo, ser Apache. Esta relacion fue, en realidad, su ultima Danza Guerrera: palabras como flechas para encarar las mentiras que el hombre blanco habia decidido instaurar en la historia oficial a modo de cabelleras, asi como para sustraerse de esos otros terribles avatares del olvido, esas otras mordazas que son el museo y la leyenda. Cien años despues de su muerte, sus palabras sencillas y cargadas de esperanza continuan vibrando en nuestros oidos con un tam tam de anhelo y plenitud. Su voz es la misma que hoy resuena en la de todos aquellos que, en un mundo cada vez mas homogeneo y complaciente, siguen abogando por la autodeterminacion, la lucha y la resistencia.

La dama triunfante es el premio al esfuerzo, al sacrificio constante y a la mente mas amplia que empatiza con diferentes e iguales. La carrera ha terminado y el gran corredor vuelve atras sus pasos; sus brazos no buscan premios, sus manos mucho menos, sus ojos se dirigen a esos que han hecho junto a el un inmenso esfuerzo. Quiere festejar con ellos, quiere reconocer su sudor, quiere contagiarse de valor y asi empatizar con la derrota..., con la dama de los que aun no han rendido sus sueños.El abrazo entre ganadores y perdedores es gigante, eterno. La victoria no es ganar, la victoria es seguir corriendo... La empatia no es sentir lastima por el que lo intento pero quedo atras..., es acercarse para reconocer su intento.
