A good primer on historical markers: how they’re researched, approved and made. And, why they matter, and the biggest threats to their existence. Thanks for the tip, @grrlherstorian.bsky.social! indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/07/21/i...

The march demonstrated the strong antifascist sentiment within the Ybor City community. The event is commemorated with a historical marker and a mural in Ybor City’s 7th Avenue, featuring prominent activists such as Margot Falcone, Dolores Ibari and Luisa Moreno. /end
The 1937 Antifascist Women's March historical marker features text on one side and on the other side, a black-and-white photo of women marching down the middle of 7th Avenue during the 1937 protest.

Reupping for today, a thread based on my visit to the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site on the Colorado high plains. After the Civil War the U.S. redoubled its attempt to eliminate Native populations, particularly in areas of expansion in the West. www.northwestern.edu/magazine/fal...

I’ve done improv, so yes and! It was US policy through the early 70s to eliminate indigenous communities; first through violence and then through bureaucracy by stripping tribal status. The Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site in Colorado is the only one using “massacre” for what the U.S. did
Marker at the Sand Creek Massacre Historic Site in the plains of Eastern Colorado. It reads: On November 29, 1864, U.S. Colonel John Chivington and 700 volunteer troops attacked an encampment of Cheyenne and Arapaho along Sand Creek. [My note: they had been forced into that area and were in US eyes legally there, but Chivington attacked anyway, even though there were surrender and U.S. flags on the tipis.] The thunderous approach of horses galloping toward camp at dawn sent hundreds fleeing from their tipis. Many were shot and killed as they ran. While warriors fought back, escapees frantically dug pits to hide in along the banks of Sand Creek - cannonballs later bombarded them. In the bloody aftermath, some of the soldiers mutilated dead bodies and looted the camp. Later, most of the village and its contents were burned or destroyed. Among the slain were chiefs War Bonnet, White Antelope, Lone Bear, Yellow Wolf, Big Man, Bear Man, Spotted Crow, Bear Robe, and Left Hand - some who had worked diligently to negotiate peace. Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site commemorates all who perished and survived this horrific event, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Colorado soldiers. This site also symbolizes the struggle of Native Americans to maintain their way of life on traditional lands. (Photo Caption) Cheyenne Chief War Bonnet, pictured during a visit to President Sign at the Sand Creek Massacre Historic Site reading: “SILENCE & RESPECT.” The fencing at the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site marks a gravesite for those killed. A marker put up by a previous landowner has a depiction of a Native chief’s head and says: Sand Creek Battle Ground Nov 29 & 30, 1864 Later it was determined the massacre site was probably another 1 1/2 miles away

A little thread about how attitudes, and markers, change. In July 2024 I went to see the Chief Waupaca marker and site in Waupaca County, Wisc., expecting to see the problematic marker in brown and instead got a different and nuanced story in blue — including that Chief Waupaca never existed. 1/🧵
Original Chief Waupaca historical marker, Marion, Wisconsin. It tells the story of a “friendly Potawatomi Indian” who accepted white settlers as others in his tribe did not, and that he and two of his sons are buried at the site. Entry to Chief Waupaca Historical Site, Marion, Wisconsin. I took this in July 2024. I did not hunt or camp. Current marker at Chief Waupaca Historical Site, Marion, Wisconsin. It tells the story of the myth of Chief Waupaca, where the word Waupaca came from, a detailed history of the Menominee in the region. Taken July 2024.

The badlands of western Kansas are stunning. And the ones in Scott County are marked as the site of the 1878 Battle of Punished Woman’s Fork (yup.) The Northern Cheyenne, after fleeing a reservation in Oklahoma, fought and escaped the U.S. Army in the last Army-Native battle in Kansas.
Memorial to the 1878 battle between the U.S. Army and Northern Cheyenne in Scott County, Kansas. Marker in Scott County, Kansas. It reads: Battle Canyon, 1878 This marks the site of the last encounter in the State of Kansas between Native Americans and the United States Troops. Homesick and ill, the Northern Cheyenne under the leadership of Chief Dull Knife and Little Wolf were trying to return to their former home in the north. There were 92 warriors, 120 women, and 141 children who had escaped from the reservation at Ft. Reno Oklahoma. As they came through Kansas crossing the Arkansas River at Cimarron Crossing, Lt. Colonel William H. Lewis, commander at Ft. Dodge, was dispatched to capture and retum them. On September 27, 1878, the Northern Cheyenne were located at this site. Sentries were hidden in circular pits, surrounded by rock barricades, still visible today. Women, children, and the elderly were hidden in the Den below. When Lewis advanced, coming from the Southwest, he was mortally wounded in the thigh, dying enroute to Ft. Wallace, Kansas, forty miles Northwest. He became the last army officer to be killed in Kansas during the Indian wars. The Cheyenne escaped by night, crossed the Smokey Hill River, fled into Nebraska, where their parties split. One group going with Chief Dull Knife, and the other with Little Wolf. Dull Knife's group was captured close to Ft. Robinson while Little Wolf's remained in the sand hills of Nebraska for the Winter. This thirty acre site was donated to the citizens of Scott County by the late R.B. Christy, Scott City banker and stockman. The site now is maintained by the Scott County Historical Society. The dens in the Scott County, Kansas, badlands where the Northern Cheyenne hid as the U.S. Army approached, 1878. View from the marker for the Battle of Punished Woman’s Fork. The U.S. Army approached from the gaps between the rocks to try to recapture Northern Cheyenne who fled from a reservation in Oklahoma.

A lack of punishment wasn’t the issue after white men murdered 9 Natives in 1824, 8 years after Indiana statehood. The hanging tree is gone but a sign remains on the site in Pendleton’s Falls Park. Alas, this was a rare case of justice for such crimes in the US en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_Cr... 4/

Found more on Nebraska honoree Standing Bear and the tragedies of him and the Ponca as white “pioneers” moved into the area — and his successful 1879 case that established personhood for Native Americans under US law. This marker is at an I-80 rest area near Milford, Neb. www.nps.gov/mnrr/learn/h...
Marker near Milford, Nebraska, for Standing Bear and the Ponca Tribe. It reads: In 1877 the Ponca Tribe and Chief Standing Bear were forced from their Nebraska homeland along the Niobrara River to an Oklahoma reservation. Hardships followed them during the more than 500-mile trek. Standing Bear’s daughter Prairie Flower died June 5 as the tribe traveled south through Seward County following the Big Blue River. A tornado hit the camp June 6 and fatally injured a grannddaughter. Milford citizens buried them in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, one-half mile north of here. Nearly one quarter of the tribe died in Oklahoma, including Standing Bear’s son, Bear Shield, whose dying wish was to be buried along the Niobrara River. In 1879, Fort Omaha soldiers captured and imprisoned Standing Bear and 25 others after their desperate return to Nebraska. Represented by Omaha attorneys, Standing Bear sued for a writ of habeas corpus in U.S. District Court. Judge Elmer S. Dundy ordered the Poncas’ release on May 12, 1879, ruling for the first time in U.S. history that an Indian was a person within the meaning of the law, a landmark in the struggle for Native rights. Erected 2017 by Seward County Friends of Standing Bear; Ponca Tribe of Nebraska; Seward County Visitors Committee; and Nebraska State Historical Society.
