In Heseovo’eo’he’e (Sand Creek Massacre), Dr. Richard Littlebear, a descendant of victims of the Sand Creek Massacre, recounts this brutal chapter of American History in the endangered Cheyenne language. He contemplates the horror, loss and ongoing impact of November 29, 1864, when U.S. Cavalry troops massacred more than 200 peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho people in what is now Colorado. The film, in particular Littlebear's narration, operates as a counter-history, speaking back into existence a loss, and an event that has been all but erased from official historical accounts, and from the landscape itself.
