The Sand Creek massacre occurred because the Arapaho and Cheyenne people were destroying white settlers' property. Later Black Kettle, an Indian chief, asked for peace, but General Chivington said there could be no peace. A battle broke out and many people were killed. People on both sides were killed but far more natives had their lives taken. Some people said that General Chivington should be punished for killing so many, but charges were removed and he was not punished. The tragedy at Wounded Knee occurred when Sitting Bull, chief of the Lakota Sioux, was blamed for leading the Ghost Dance, a spiritual dance that wished for more Buffalo and no white settlers. Soldiers tracked Sitting Bull down and, in an exchange of gunfire, he was killed. Native Americans were mournful that their great, brave chief was dead. They loved Sitting Bull and were very sad at the news of his death.
