The Massacre of Sand Creek occurred when the Cheyenne and Arapho peoples destroyed white settler's property. Chief Black Kettle, an Indian chief, tried for peace, but Colonel Chivington said that too much damage had already been done and there would be no peace. They then attacked. 2/3 of the Indians who died were mostly women and children. In just 2 hours, 123 Indians died. There were 500 Indians at first, and 500-600 horses. This was a very bloody massacre.
