I'm not well-informed on the parade myself, just seems odd to include Geronimo as a uniting symbol at the time.

I guess it's also a period in which people were going crazy about Buffalo Bill's Wild West show - it's a strange period of history in which the glorification and mythification of the past started before the dust had even settled.
