Outcomes of the Sand Creek Massacre

At Fort Chambers, more than 100 Boulder men trained and drilled and then joined Col John Chivington's Volunteer Cavalry in committing the Sand Creek Massacre. What are the outcomes of this massacre for the Arapaho and Cheyenne people, and for the people who have lived in Boulder since then?


What happened to the Arapaho and Cheyenne people? How have they suffered as a result of the actions of the Boulder settlers? How do they live today? How would they like to relate to the land and people of the Boulder Valley? What presence would they like to have here?


How have the people of Boulder prospered since the massacre? How do people of Boulder feel today about what happened 160 years ago? How do people of Boulder feel today about the relative life conditions of the Cheyenne and Arapaho and the current residents of Boulder? How would the people of Boulder like to address the disparities? How can we start?
