Sand Creek is famous for the Sand Creek Massacre, which occurred on November 29, 1864, when Colorado U.S. Volunteer Cavalry attacked a peaceful camp of Cheyenne and Arapaho people. The brutal assault resulted in the deaths of over 150 Native Americans, mostly women and children. This tragic event highlighted the violent conflicts between settlers and Native Americans during westward expansion and has since become a symbol of the injustices faced by Indigenous peoples in American history. The massacre has led to ongoing discussions about reconciliation and the recognition of Native American rights.
