Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
We supported the development of Sand Creek Massacre-related curriculum for Colorado and tribal schools with a teacher training workshop. We produced two public speaking events to raise public awareness of the massacre. We recorded two new massacre descendant oral histories for the archive. We supported the work of a genealogical researcher who is documenting descendance from the massacre survivors to today. We created a partnership with the Amache Alliance, non-profit partner of the Amache National Historic Site, located just 40 miles from the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site. We raised funds and helped develop an exhibit at the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site. Our work benefits the tribes, the State of Colorado and the public at large. Our impact is incalculable.$0$88,222
