Sand Creek Massacre Site Wins National Historic Designation
May 17, 2007 5:02 PM


Looking southwest, Sand Creek or Chivington Massacre, 1864.
O. Y. Rookstool
The land where the Sand Creek Massacre took place has become a National Historic Site, 140 years later. It took the cooperation of three tribes, the state, the National Park Service, and Congress. The site--in southeastern Colorado--is where militiamen killed more than 150 members of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes in a raid on November 29th, 1864. Steve Brady's ancestors survived the massacre. He represented the Northern Cheyenne Tribe in negotiations. Alexa Roberts is Superintendent of the new site, which will open to the public next month.

Ryan Warner of KCFR in Denver recently spoke to Roberts and Brady for the KCFR program "Colorado Matters."
