Geronimo, a well-known military leader of the Chiricahua Apache in New Mexico, may have been a descendant of subarctic Athapaskan immigrants.

“How the Athapaskan migrants were able to spread their language – and genes – so successfully is unknown.”
Maybe they talked to the women they met which might explain both.

We're using it in combination with the linguistic, oral histories from elders in the community and archaeological data.

Well then, it is clear that Chief Wild Eagle was Athapaskan:

Many moons ago tribe move west because Pilgrims ruin neighborhood. Tribe travel west, over country and mountains and wild streams, then come big day... tribe fall over cliff, that when Hekawi get name. Medicine man say to my ancestor, "I think we lost. Where the heck are we?"

“Athapaskan”??? Are these formerly known as “Atabaskans”?

If the Athapaskans arrived in the southwest 500 years ago, they would have been encountering some of the early Spanish explorers and settlers. They successfully adapted the sheep herding lifestyle of the early settlers (many of whom were actually Basque). They call themselves the Dene. We call them Navaho.
