SAND CREEK, COLORADO
640 acres saved.
In 1864, growing tension between white settelers and Native Americans in Color5ado, prompted Colonel John Chivington to launch an unprovoked surprise attack at dawn November 29 on a winter camp of some 500 Cheyenne and Arapaho at Sand Creek.
His militia massacred some 200 Native Americans, two-thirds of whom were women and children.
The Trust, in collaboration with the National Park Service, the State of Colorado, The Colorado Trust and History Colorado, has saved 640 acres at Sand Creek.
A part of the war that must not be forgotten.
