The events at Sand Creek have sparked…
January 1865 CE
Much of the hostilities take place in Colorado, leading to many of the events being referred to as part of the so-called Colorado War.
Battles and hostilities elsewhere on the southern plains, such as in Kansas and Texas, are often included as part of the "Comanche Wars".
During the wars, the Arapaho and Cheyenne allies the Kiowa, Comanche, and Plains Apache will participate in some battles alongside them.
The Lakota from the north come down into northern Colorado to help the Arapaho and Cheyenne there.
The Battle of Julesburg results from a force of about a thousand allied Northern Arapaho, Cheyenne (mostly from the Dog Soldiers warrior society), and Lakota from the Brulé and Oglala sub-tribes.
The point of the raid is retaliation for the events at the Sand Creek Massacre months earlier.
The allied forces attack settlers and U.S. Army forces around the valley of the South Platte River near Julesburg, Colorado.
The battle is a decisive native victory resulting in fourteen soldiers and four civilians dead and probably no native casualties.
