"Dallas kids compare Sand Creek Massacre to Holocaust"
A documentary film, "The Sand Creek Massacre", and driven by Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho people who tell their version about what happened during the Sand Creek Massacre based on their oral histories, was screened in a ninth grade Dallas classroom during the week of April 16, 2007.
Their teacher described their reaction after viewing the film: "Two children compared it to the Holocaust...they grimaced a few times during the film of what had occurred and the pain that the ‘Natives’ went through...When I asked who were the Savages and stated that the ‘Natives’ were called ‘Savages’ for defending their land, many said the US soldiers seemed like the Savages..."
Donald L. Vasicek, the award-winning writer/filmmaker of the film, said, "If we can teach our children peaceful means to conflict resolution, then it is possible that we can circumvent massacres. It certainly hasn't happened yet. Need I cite the Sand Creek Massacre, Washita, Wounded Knee, Mai Lai, Oklahoma City, Waco, Columbine, Iraq, Virginia Tech, etc.? The Sand Creek Massacre film is a launch pad as a means to attack ignorance and fear and replace it with intelligence and confidence. Everyone should see the film, we owe that much to the victims of each massacre."
