War Comes to the Cheyennes

• Little Raven: It will be a very hard thing to leave the country that God gave us. Our friends are buried there, and we hate to leave these grounds...There is something strong for us-that fool band of soldiers that cleared out our lodges and killed our women and children. This is hard on us. There at Sand Creek-White Antelope and many other great chiefs lie there; our women and children lie there. Our lodges were destroyed there, and our horses were taken from us there, and I do not feel disposed to go right off to a new country and leave them."
• James Steele: We all fully realize that it is hard for any people to leave their homes and graves of their ancestors, but, unfortunately for you, gold has been discovered in your country, and a crowd of white people have gone there to live, and a great many of these people are the worst enemies of the Indians-men who do not care for their interests, and who would not stop at any crime to enrich themselves. These men are now in your country-in all parts of it-and there is no portion where you can live and maintain yourselves but what you will come in contact with them. The consequences of this state of things are that you are in
• constant danger of being imposed upon, and you have to resort to arms in self-defense. Under the circumstances, there is, in the opinion of the commission, no part of the former country large enough where you can live in peace.

• Thus did the Cheyennes and Arapahos abandon all claims to the territory of Colorado. And that of course was the real meaning of the massacre at Sand Creek.

“Fathers, fathers, fathers, hear me well. Call back your young men from the mountains of the bighorn sheep. They have run over our country; they have destroyed the growing wood and the green grass; they have set fire to our lands. Fathers, your young men have devastated the country and killed my animals, the elk, the deer, the antelope, my buffalo. They do not kill them to eat them; they leave them to rot where they fall. Fathers, if I
went into your country to kill your animals, what would you say? Should I not be wrong, and would you not make
war on me?”
-Bear Tooth, Fort Laramie
