 * || My report is all about the Sand Creek Massacre.Massacre means battle.If you want to learn more then read on.The Sand Creek Massacre was a huge fight between two groups of indians (the Cheyenne and the Arapho.)and the white men. This battle happened in 1864,Sand Creek CO.The indians and the white men each thought the others had more land. One night Colonel Chivington lead an attack on the indians. Black Kettle ( the Cheyenne Indian Chief) tried to stop it by tieing a white flag uder the american flag ( which means peace.) He hoped they would understand. They did not get it. About 163 indians were killed and 10 white men were killed and 28 were hurt. I think the white men did this because they were probably really angry. They also killed in such a mean way that I can't say it here. Cornal Chivington probably didn't face any charges because they killed so many indians and they were happy about it. This fight really could have been provented. Today people are making a momarial site, that is still not finished today. I hope you enjoyed reading about the Sand Creek Massacre. ||  ||
