United Methodist Church donates $50K for center at Sand Creek
Posted: Monday, March 7, 2011
The United Methodist Church has donated $50,000 to help build the Sand Creek Massacre Learning Center in Colorado.
Col. John M. Chivington led the 1864 massacre at Sand Creek, where soldiers killed more than 150 Cheyenne and Arapaho women, children and elders. Chivington was a Methodist minister.
"Our recognition and acknowledgment of this truth is long overdue," Sidorak said in a press release. "The Sand Creek National Historic Site is a sacred place."
The money was donated to the National Park Service, which will match the contribution.
