History and Historical Sites

 
 
 
The Northern Cheyenne Sand Creek Massacre Site Project is dedicated to raising awareness about the Sand Creek Massacre.   The official website of the National Park Service’s Sand Creek Massacre Historic Site provides information about the administration of the site and historical resources.

Historian John Sipes has researched the experience of Cheyenne and Arapaho prisoners of war at Fort Marion between 1875 and 1878, and explored the connections between this incident, the Sand Creek Massacre, and the Carlisle Boarding School.  

“American Indian Boarding School Experiences: Recent Studies from Native Perspectives,” by historian Julie Davis, was originally published in the Organization of American Historians’ journal Magazine of History in winter 2001.
“The Road to a New Era of American Indian Autonomy,” by Ned Blackhawk, was published in the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History’s History Now: American History Online. The Fall 2006 volume focuses on western history and includes resources on American Indian history. The Denver Public Library operates a searchable database of images. The images come from the collections of the Denver Public Library, the Colorado Historical Society, and the Denver Art Museum. The collections include many images of American Indians. 
The National Park Service administers the Bent’s Old Fort site, which features a reconstruction of the adobe trading post. This site was of great importance to many Plains Indians, including the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Comanche tribes. Search for images of American Indians in the Library of Congress.
The Library of Congress holds a large collection of primary-source resources on American Indian history.
