30 Sand Creek Massacre (1864) Colonel John Milton Chivington of the Colorado Militia "I have come to kill Indians. and believe it is right and honorable to use any means under God's heaven to kill Indians.

31 White settlers in Colorado demanded that the Cheyenne be moved. So that they could take the land. The Cheyenne were forced on the Sand Creek Reservation, but they had no food and starved. Some young men began to steal animals and supplies from settlers.

32 Chivington and his cavalry launch a surprise attack on the Cheyenne, killing 105 women and children and 28 men, as well as mutilating the dead and wounded.

By the end of fighting, which lasted less than an hour, at least 150 Lakota had been killed and 50 wounded. In comparison, US Army casualties numbered 25 dead and 39 wounded.

43 Chief Joseph of the Nez Percé I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed... The old men are all dead.. It is cold, and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are -- perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.
