In November of 1864, a village of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians were awakened to the sound of cannon and gunfire in the early morning hours. They were camped near Sand Creek in Colorado under the protection of the U.S. Government, to whom they had already surrendered. Troops led by Colonel John Chivington proceeded to murder and mutilate some 160 Native Americans, most of them elderly men, women and children.
