The Sand Creek Massacre involved the killing of Cheyenne and Arapaho people, including women and children, by a Colorado Territory militia led by Colonel John Chivington. Chief Black Kettle survived the massacre, and George Custer was not involved. Chivington did not denounce the U.S. Army; he led the attack.
