ETHNIC CLEANSING AND
THE FOUNDING OF A CITY

WICHITA KANSAS
BREEDING GROUND OF BIGOTRY

-INTRODUCTION-

The Sand Creek Massacre was carried out in order
to establish the city of Wichta six months later.

In November of 1864 four hundred eighty Cheyenne of Black Kettle's band camped under the flag of peace of the United States, given by US military to identify them as living peacefully with their families
were slaughtered and their bodies hideously maimed.

The commander of the hastily raised 100 Days volunteer force had publicly declared his intentions to destroy Native American children saying, "Nits make lice".
Children's ears and scalps were cut from their heads. Women and children's genitals were cut out and cut off. One man displayed a woman's genitals on a stick outside his tent for all to view.
A child's body was torn open, heart cut out and it was paraded around the volunteer's camp ground on a pole.

Six months later, following this act of terrorism, James R. Mead, Ohio business man who had been pressing officals with offers of selective partnerships in the establishment of a town site at the junction of the Arkansas Rivers, enjoyed the beginning of the city of Wichta's first business establishment on the homeland of the very people this ethnic cleansing was designed to eradicate.
Mead was shortly joined by Kansas Governor Samuel Crawford in submitted incorporation papers.

Horrified at the news of a massacre of the Cheyenne in their own land, the 39th Congress of the United States conducted an investigation gathering testimony from the white participants in this pogrom. Two dozen men testified that every body they saw had been scalped, most of the bodies were cut up, many had been butchered like slaughterhouse meat in every imaginable manner.

The commander named Chivington was a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church who had temporarily left his pulpit and speaking circuit to run for political office and to follow through on his declarations to exterminate Native American families. He expressed his personal hatred for little children by saying that "nits make lice".

A vigilante force was raised supplied and armed for 100 days in order to hunt down the Cheyenne who were not at war and had no reason to expect that they were about to be killed and the survivors deported to Indian Territory.

James Mead the founder of Wichita and son of Presbyterian missionary had been pressuring the federal government, Indian agents and lobbying the State governments of Kansas and Colorado to make good his vision of a monopoly in railroad bonds and town site development. He was joined by a Jew, William Geffenstein, who both controled land prices and "economic development" in the City of Wichita for two and a half decades.

The Keeper of the Plains, is a pet on a leash who prays to an unknown God that no one will notice the genocide that established the city of Wichita. His prayer is that no one will notice the ethnic cleansing that separated families from their children and generations from their ancestors. He hopes no one will notice that Wichita still does not recognize Native American cultural religious identity as legitimate. He prays that Christians cannot put two and two together and see that Wichita City government has an establishment of religion in his praying image or they would be tearing down the eagle feathered man as a false idol and cutting the hearts of his children out of their bodies as they did before in order to build their city.
