There is a newer plaque, placed in 2002, on the west side of the circular sandstone wall surrounding the memorial that reads: "The controversy surrounding this Civil War Monument has become a symbol of Coloradans' struggle to understand and take responsibility for our past. On November 29, 1864 Colorado's First and Third Cavalry, commanded by Colonel John Chivington, attacked Chief Black Kettle's peaceful camp of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians on the banks of Sand Creek, about 180 miles southeast of here. In the surprise attack, soldiers killed more than 150 of the village's 500 inhabitants. Most of the victims were elderly men, women and children. Though some civilian and military personnel immediately denounced the attack as a massacre, others claimed the village was a legitimate target. This Civil War monument, paid for from funds by the Pioneers' Association and State, was erected on July 24, 1909, to honor all Colorado Soldiers who had fought in battles in the Civil War and elsewhere. By designating Sand Creek a battle, the monument's designers mischaracterized the actual events. Protests led by some Sand Creek descendants and others throughout the twentieth century have led to the widespread recognition of the tragedy as the Sand Creek Massacre. This plaque was authorized by Senate Joint Resolution 99-017" Run by History Colorado Museum County Denver Cost $15,000 (first legislative appropriation), plus an additional $3,500 (second legislative appropriation) Organisation State of Colorado Affiliation Monument Function / Affiliation Union Prim Media 2266 City Denver Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

July 4, 1904." A brass plaque on the western side of the pedestal reads, "The Civil War cannon barrel that originally graced this site was, because of its valuable metal content, donated to assist the United States' war effort during World War II. In its place, this 1918 Howitzer barrel, a World War I model was mounted. Decades later, the Howitzer barrel was removed and placed into storage, leaving the memorial unadorned. In 1991, the barrel was refurbished and remounted through funds provided by the Colorado Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. As a result, this unusual memorial has ties, not only to the Civil War, but to World War I, World War II, and even the American Revolution. With its history and purpose in mind, this memorial is rededicated, 87 years after its original dedication." The muzzle of the cannon is engraved with "A.B.S. & FDY.
