- Description
- Sand Creek Massacre: 150 Year Remembrance, jointly sponsored by the National Park Service and the National Museum of the American Indian, is a one day symposium that commemorates the sesquicentennial of the Sand Creek Massacre - a tragedy that occurred on November 29,1864. In this segment, Tom Meier speaks on "Specific Actions Taken by Various Groups and Government to Foster a Better Understanding of the Multigenerational Impacts of the Sand Creek Massacre." Tom has photographed the Sand Creek Massacre site in 1978, and subsequently concentrated his studies on the history of the Arapaho Tribe in Colorado. In 1985, he met Eugene J. Ridgely, Sr., a Northern Arapaho leader, and began to work with the Ridgely family and other tribal leaders on various projects in Colorado. Since 1993, these projects focused increasingly on the Sand Creek Massacre. In 1999, Meier began to photograph the Sand Creek Massacre Spiritual Healing Runs in which Northern Arapaho runners participated, and in 1996, 2001, 2002, and 2009, worked with tribal leaders in coordinating the Northern Arapaho "Coming Home" commemorations in Boulder. Meier is a retired President and Director of the Boulder Historical Society and Museum, and a Charter Member of NMAI. The symposium was recorded and webcast in the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on October 9, 2014.
