On the morning of November 29, 1864 more than 150 Cheyenne and Arapaho people were viciously massacred at Sand Creek Colorado. Cheyenne and Arapaho artists, Brent Learned, George Levi, Merlin Little Thunder and BJ Stepp, descendants of the victims at Sand Creek, have created this exhibition.  Their work focuses on the remembrance, honor and strength of their ancestors and leaders.  This exhibit is a collection of paintings and ledger art that give a visual history of the event, the people and places.
