CENTENNIAL, CO —     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."
