Bill Summary

25-1024 CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION ON THE STATE CAPITOL GROUNDS OF A MEMORIAL TO THE VICTIMS OF THE SAND CREEK MASSACRE OF NOVEMBER 29, 1864.

AI Summary

This joint resolution addresses the installation of a memorial to the victims of the Sand Creek Massacre on the Colorado State Capitol grounds, acknowledging the historical tragedy that occurred on November 29, 1864, when approximately 230 Cheyenne and Arapaho people, mostly women, children, and elderly, were killed by Colorado Volunteer soldiers under Colonel John Chivington's command despite displaying peace symbols. The resolution recognizes Colorado as the traditional homeland of the Cheyenne and Arapaho people and seeks to raise public awareness about this devastating event by approving a memorial design recommended by the State Capitol Building Advisory Committee, the Capital Development Committee, and the governor. The memorial will be located on the west grounds of the state capitol, replacing the previously damaged "Union Soldier" statue, which will be long-term loaned to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs for public display. Additionally, the resolution aims to promote cross-cultural understanding, educate the public about the massacre, and foster healing by creating a space to memorialize the victims and honor the Cheyenne and Arapaho people. The joint resolution also mandates that copies be transmitted to various tribal, state, and governmental entities to ensure widespread acknowledgment of this historical event.
