    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sand Creek Massacre Lesson 4]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This lesson will guide students through the process of reparations and encourage them to consider questions of justice as it relates to acts of war and genocide. It will build off of the discussions and understandings from the previous lessons in order to assess the appropriate response to the Sand Creek Massacre. The students will analyze the Little Arkanasas Treaty of 1865, which provided reparations for the Sand Creek Massacre, and discuss questions of justice as it relates to genocide and war. The discussion will connect to the broader theme of reparations and reflect on the United States&#039; attitude toward reparations and indigenous communities. This lesson is planned to take 2 days. However, if you are pressed for time, give preference to the first activity of reparations/ treaty-making, as it is a particularly insightful exercise for demonstrating their understanding of the massacre and encouraging them to tackle difficult questions related to justice and war. Allow for dissent and debate in class discussions during this activity.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This lesson will guide students through various historical interpretations of the Sand Creek Massacre, including paintings and oral history about the massacre, as well as traditional textbook descriptions of the Massacre. Through this lesson, students will understand how different types of historical documents provide different insights into events. Specifically, they will understand why textbook descriptions cannot capture the entire reality of history, and we must rely on other types of information to get a more nuanced, complete story.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sand Creek Massacre Lesson 6]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This lesson will guide students through the creation of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site and the difficulties of historical memory regarding the massacre. Established in 2007, the Sand Creek site involved a detailed and contentious process of locating the site of the massacre. Students will suggest how they would locate the massacre site, and what they would include in the National Historic Site. As a class, students will discuss the importance of National Historic Sites and other ways of remembering the past and will consider questions about who gets to create our stories and how we create them. Ever since the attack, there has been a battle over the memory of Sand Creek, starting with Chivington&#039;s letter about the &quot;battle&quot;. Remembering Sand Creek is a process, one that continues to this day. In this lesson, students will learn about different ways of remembering, commemorating and memorializing the Sand Creek Massacre, and discuss why they matter. At the end, they will create a small exhibit or piece of ledger art for a museum display or other way of remembering the Sand Creek Massacre. The exhibit activity is included as a part of day 2; however, if your students are really engaged with this project and want to make it into a bigger project, this can be another day and you should allow them to spend some time researching online for some additional information on Sand Creek.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[&quot;Westward Expansion&quot;]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This lesson will situate the Sand Creek Massacre within the broader context of Native American history and the Civil War. This lesson will describe important events and treaties leading up to the Sand Creek Massacre. By showing how the Civil War and Sand Creek Massacre are not simply simultaneous events, but part of an intertwined process of westward expansion, this lesson will demonstrate how Native American history is U.S. history, and students will be able to understand the context and importance of the following lesson plans on the Massacre and its consequences for U.S.- Indian relations. As historian Ari Kelman says, &quot;We remember the Civil War as a war of liberation that freed four million slaves. But it also became a war of conquest to destroy and dispossess Native Americans.” Sand Creek, he adds, “is a bloody and mostly forgotten link” between the Civil War and the Plains Indian Wars that continued for 25 years after Appomattox.&quot; Included in this lesson are the Fort Laramie (link to the digital copy in Lesson Sources) and Fort Wise treaties, which can be used for analysis if students and teacher are already familiar with treaties. However, they are not essential to this lesson plan, but are included for your convenience.]]></dcterms:description>
