A miniature model shows what a bronze statue will look like as part of a new Sand Creek Massacre memorial at the Colorado state Capitol.
A statue honoring victims of Colorado s Sand Creek Massacre is likely to soon replace a Civil War monument on the west end of the state Capitol that was toppled during protests last summer.
Descendants of the massacre see the steps of the Capitol as an ideal spot for the Sand Creek memorial because historians say it was where soldiers displayed victims’ bodies during a victory parade through Denver in 1864.
Ryan Ortiz, of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, says putting a new memorial there will promote healing.
