May 16--EADS, Colo.--The National Park Service got a chilly response here last week to its proposals for protection of the Sand Creek Massacre site in Kiowa County.

At an open house Thursday, the park service's Christine Whitacre said three alternatives have been put forth for public comment. The first is doing nothing to preserve and protect the site, leaving it in private ownership with no public access.

The second is establishing a Sand Creek Massacre memorial on approximately 1,500 acres of land in two separate parcels now owned by Bill and Jredia Dawson, which would allow visitors to view the massacre site from an overlook but wouldn't allow them access to much of the site.

The third alternative is establishing a Sand Creek historic site of approximately 12,500 acres that would encompass nearly all of the massacre site, plus adjacent land so the "viewshed" and site's natural resources could be protected. Thirteen landowners would be affected by this proposal.
