Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site is located in Kiowa County, Colorado. The National park Service
describes The Sand Creek Massacre as 8 Hours that changed the Great Plains forever. The Sand Creek Massacre:
profound, symbolic, spiritual, controversial, a site unlike any other in America.
The Site commemorates a very dark chapter in American history when Colonel Chivington led 675 men to Sand Creek and slaughtered
a peaceful tribe of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians. Of approximately seven hundred people in the village, about two hundred
died that day. Two-thirds of the dead and mutilated bodies left on the ground were women and children.
