Ari Kelman -- A Misplaced Massacre

In the morning of November 29, 1864, with the fate of the Union still cloudy, the Sand Creek Massacre left hundreds of Native Americans dead. A Misplaced Massacre examines the ways in which generations have struggled to come to terms with the meaning of the attack and its aftermath, most publicly at the opening of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site. Local author Ari Kelman examines the way Americans come to know a shared past in this intense and emotional piece of literature.
