  • Many Native Americans, the Cheyenne, believed that they were under the protection of the U.S. government. So, because they felt so secure and safe because of the assumed peace with the U.S. they returned to Colorado's Sand Creek Reserve during the winter. However, General S. R. Curtis, U.S. army commander in the west did not want the Native Americans to move back, and did not want or believe in peace with them, and wanted them all to suffer. Curtis sent a telegram message with this information to Chivington, and him and his troops attacked the Cheyenne as well as the Arapaho Native Americans and killed over 150 people, who were living peacefully at Sand Creek.

They wanted to to keep Native Americans as people in their own area and wanted to make sure they did and acted the same as everyone else to keep them as the same as every other person. We said that assimilation is a bad thing in some circumstances because it can cause people to think that they are unworthy and that they have to completely change to fit in and not be discriminated against.
