Indigenous services minister says First Nations support for developments ‘critical’
- On May 23-24, members of Colorado's Episcopal Church joined a pilgrimage to the historic site in Kiowa County that commemorates the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre victims.
- The pilgrimage highlighted historical factors, including Evans' proclamations, which set the stage for the deadly attack led by John Milton Chivington, a Methodist minister responsible for the massacre of more than 230 Cheyenne and Arapaho individuals.
- Pilgrims received a ranger's historic overview near Eads and reflected on the massacre's present-day impact, while Senate Bill 123 to require teaching genocide and massacres in schools recently failed.
- Southern Arapaho elder Fred Mosqueda described the massacre as a total slaughter by the U.S. Government, while minister Marrton Dormish said, “we're not there yet” on reconciliation efforts.
- Organizers and participants considered the pilgrimage a meaningful beginning in the healing process, highlighting the importance of taking time for shared mourning and seeking more profound justice for the affected tribes rather than rushing toward forgiveness.
