Description:

This event, held one week before the 150th anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre, is a remembrance of the lives lost that day and a call for deeper awareness of both John Evans’ relation to the massacre and the significance those and similar events bear in relation to the existence of Northwestern University and the United States as a whole. The commemoration will begin at 1 p.m. with a march from the Weber Arch to the lakefill, where the remembrance events will take place, including a bonfire, prayer, songs and other remarks by members of the Native American community.
