Rick Williams, the leader of an American Indian group called People of the Sacred Land, reacted with disbelief this month upon learning signs were posted at the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site in southeastern Colorado that critics are taking as a threat to whitewash history.
The signs, which were posted June 13 at all National Park Service sites by order of Interior Secretary Doug Bergum, begin innocuously by asking visitors to scan a QR code and answer three survey questions. The first asks them to identify areas that need repair. The second inquires about services that need improvement.
It’s the third survey query that is surprising many and alarming some. It asks visitors to identify “signs or other information that are negative about either past or living Americans or that fail to emphasize the beauty, grandeur, and abundance of landscapes and other natural features.”
