Donald L. Vasicek, award-winning writer/filmmaker of Olympus Films+, LLC and producer of "The Sand Creek Massacre", said, "Each time this film receives exposure, it makes the Cheyenne and Arapaho people's voices that much more eloquent. The injustice they experienced at Sand Creek, not to mention the racism/genocide attitude that continues to stalk them in present day America, perpetuates their suppression as a culture and as a people. It is pass due time for America to take care of their native people. The world should wait. We have our fences to mend to first, then we can better help others."
