Yahoo! GeoCities is a Web hosting service. GeoCities was originally founded by David Bohnett and John Rezner in late 1994 as Beverly Hills Internet (BHI), and by 1999 GeoCities was the third-most visited Web site on the World Wide Web. In its original form, site users selected a "city" in which to place their Web pages. The "cities" were metonymously named after real cities or regions according to their content?for example, computer-related sites were placed in "SiliconValley" and those dealing with entertainment were assigned to "Hollywood"?hence the name of the site. Shortly after its acquisition by Yahoo!, this practice was abandoned in favor of using the Yahoo! member names in the URLs.
In April 2009, approximately ten years after Yahoo! bought GeoCities, the company announced that it would shut down the United States GeoCities service on October 26, 2009. There were at least 38 million user-built pages on GeoCities before it was shut down.

THE SAN CARLOS APACHE PEOPLE
Many believe that the great San Carlos Apache people entered this region sometime around the 11th century A.D. (or perhaps even later). Many Apaches, however, believe that they have always lived in the area. Perhaps some of them may have intermarried with the Salado or similar peoples. At any rate, by 1500 they were in complete control of all eastern Arizona, western New Mexico, and the central part of northern Mexico. They call themselves
Nnee
or
Indeh
, "the people." Their language is closely related to the Navaho. See my brief
introduction
to Apache pronunciation.
The Apache who settled in the Pinal Mountain region state that they originally came from the north, near what is now Cibecue (
Dish Chii' Bikoh
, "red canyons"). Most traveled down the eastern edge of the Sierra Ancha ("wide mountain") range and then up Pinal Creek. They then settled in and around the eastern and northern slopes of the Pinal Mountains, where they called themselves the
t'iis ebah nnee
("grey cottonwood people"). Some later settled south of the "Pinals" around what is now known as Aravaipa Creek (
Aravaipa
means "little wells" in Pima). The Spanish called the Apaches north of the Pinals the "Pinal Apaches." Those south of the Pinals were called the "Aravaipa Apaches." A small group living further north of the Pinals were the Apache Peaks band, and a small group was also located along the San Carlos River--the San Carlos band. Still another group was located in what is now Tonto Basin--the Tonto band.
In the last part of the 19th century all these bands were concentrated on the San Carlos Reservation, at the junction of San Carlos River and the Gila River. The San Carlos Apache now consider themselves a unified people, even though they were originally quite disparate bands.
The San Carlos Apache people have a truly incredible history, and a fascinating, beautiful culture. If you would like to visit their official homepage, their URL is

Furthermore, they have just recently developed, for their first time, an excellent cultural center, whose URL is

They have also recently completed a large, successful casino known as "Apache Gold Casino."
