Good guys and bad guys. Heroes and villains. Indeed, at the dedication of the Fort Dearborn Massacre sculpture in 1893, the director of the Chicago Historical Society (now the Chicago History Museum) described the attackers as "invaders" and "barbarians."
The story of Fort Dearborn is a creation narrative of our city. The real story isn't about good guys and bad guys. It isn't about a massacre.

It's about three groups of people with three drastically different visions of the future. It's about how each of those visions had validity. None of the three was, by nature, "righter" than the others.

The real story of Fort Dearborn is a collision of those visions.
