The Colorado Sun: National parks and historic sites, including two prominent Colorado sites whose stories involve darker chapters in American history, have been directed by the Trump administration to post signs asking visitors to report historical information “negative about either past or living Americans,” triggering concerns that difficult narratives could be sanitized.

The signs went up on Friday at both the Amache site near the southeastern town of Granada that incarcerated Japanese Americans during World War II and the Sand Creek Massacre site where U.S. troops killed hundreds of peaceful Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho in 1864 at their encampment near present-day Eads. 

Park advocates and descendants of those who suffered in both of those historic moments have for months been wary that the current administration might try to reshape stories it deemed unflattering. President Trump issued an executive order in late March outlining a raft of measures designed to reverse what it contends has been a “revisionist movement” to cast portions of American history in a negative light.
