Followup - More controversy over Geronimo remains

Is the man who is suing for the relocation of Geronimo's remains back to the American West a true descendant of the legendary Native American leader?  As the Las Cruces Sun-News reports HERE, "A second Mescalero family, also claiming to be descendants of the legendary Geronimo, plans to oppose an attempt to repatriate the Apache warrior's remains to New Mexico."  This second family claims that the plaintiff is engaging in a form of "identity theft."  Looks as if at some point the courts really will have to sort this all out.
