Book Review

Finding Sand Creek: History, Archaeology, and the 1864 Massacre Site. By Jerome A. Greene and Douglas D. Scott. Foreword by Christine Whitacre. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2005. xxvi + 241 pp. Illustrations, maps, tables, appendices, notes, bibliography, index. $24.95.)

Finding Sand Creek reports the National Park Service's interdisciplinary project, designed to identify the location where the Sand Creek Massacre took place in eastern Colorado Territory. There, more than 160 peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians were killed in 1864 by U. S. volunteers and regulars in a controversial military action, led by Colonel John M. Chivington. Pinpointing the village's location and associated action became necessary to provide information for future preservation, commemoration, and interpretation after authorization in 2000 of a national historic site. Legislation is currently pending to permit the National Park Service to hold in trust the land that currently belongs to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma.
