Black Kettle was told the flag would provide protection for the peaceful village, sending a clear sign to all that the Cheyenne and Arapaho people were friends to the United States, but his belief in the power of the flag proved short lived - the soldiers attacked the village at dawn, indiscriminately killing men, women and children.  “As I ran by Black Kettle’s lodge [at Sand Creek] he had a flag tied to lodgeple and was holding it...” Little Bear, April 14, 1906 “Black Kettle ran...American flag up to the top of his lodge [at Sand Creek]...as he had been advised to do in case he should meet with any troops out on the prairies.” John Smith, sworn testimony, 1865 “I looked towards Black Kettle’s lodge and he had a flag on lodgepole in front of his lodge.” George Bent, March 15, 1905
