A commemorative plaque honoring Soule has been installed in downtown Denver at 15th Ave and Arapahoe Stwhere Capt. Soule was assassinated.
It is anticipated participants will travel to the site from Montana, Wyoming and Oklahoma. Runners will travel in relays from Eads to Denver on Nov 24 and 25. A candlelight vigil will be held on Friday (Nov 25) evening at the Denver Art Museum. On Saturday, an Honoring Ceremony will be held for U.S. army officers Silas S. Soule and Joseph Cramer at Denver’s Riverside Cemetery.
Since the creation in 2007 of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, nearly all human remains collected by army officials after the massacre have been identified and repatriated to a burial site within the park.
This year’s run has been sponsored in part by the following: History Colorado; Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs; Human Rights and Community Relations, City and County of Denver; Northern Arapaho Tribe; Northern Cheyenne Tribe; Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; Denver Art Museum; Fairmont Heritage Foundation; Trinity United Methodist Church; Native American Indian Ministries; and the Denver Indian Center.
