To get to the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site near Eads, where 230 Native Americans were murdered, you might drive through a town named for their murderer. In between Eads and the turnoff, you’ll go through the unincorporated town of Chivington. It’s named for Civil War-era Col. John Chivington, who led the attack by the 1st and 3rd Colorado cavalries on Arapaho and Cheyenne living at Sand Creek that resulted in the slaughter. Half of those killed were women and children. While Chivington may be an extreme case, dozens of sites around Colorado have taken on names that are now getting a new look as calls for equality grow louder amidst Black Lives Matter protests.
