On November 29, 1864, United States soldiers attacked a group of Cheyenne and Arapaho in southeastern Colorado (then a territory and not yet a state) and killed between 130 and 400 men, women, and children. The massacre almost immediately came to signify the disastrous relations between Native Americans and newcomers in much of the trans-Mississippi West. -
