In the 19th century, the United States' movement westward caused many issues with the Native Americans. The Sand Creek Massacre is an example and is today being rembered as a National Historic Site. Estimates account for hundreds of Native Americans and fifteen to twenty militia men killed in the attack. The site offers trails, a visitors center, and other outlets for research on this topic.
