The Cheyenne chief, known as Black Kettle, was killed during the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864, where U.S. Army troops attacked a peaceful encampment of Cheyenne and Arapaho people. Despite having previously negotiated a peace treaty and being assured safety, his village was brutally attacked, resulting in the deaths of many, including Black Kettle himself. The massacre highlighted the tragic consequences of broken promises and the violent conflict between Native American tribes and U.S. expansionist policies.
