Colonel Chivingthon

He led a regiment of Colorado Volunteers to the Cheyenne's Sand Creek reservation, where a band led by Black Kettle, a well-known "peace" chief, was camped.

Federal army officers had promised Black Kettle safety if he would return to the reservation, and he was in fact flying the American flag and a white flag of pace over his camp, but Chivington ordered an attack on the unsuspecting village.
