During the Sand Creek Massacre, women in the village showed extraordinary bravery alongside the men who defended it as best they could. Cheyenne and Arapaho women fought back with the few weapons they had and helped others escape, exposing themselves to rifle and cannon fire to guide people to safety or carry them from danger. Their courage helped ensure the survival of others, and without countless women placing themselves in harm's way, many more innocent Cheyenne and Arapaho may have died. One account recalled an old woman who repeatedly went back for children while soldiers could not see her because she had medicine. Another witness said it was impossible to discriminate because nearly all the squaws fought as bravely as the men. Among survivors, Mochi Buffalo Calf Woman endured the Sand Creek Massacre as a young Cheyenne girl, later became a woman warrior, and in 1877 was exiled by the U.S. Army to Fort Marion, Saint Augustine, Florida, as the only Cheyenne female specifically incarcerated as a prisoner in Florida. Blackhead Woman, daughter of Chief White Antelope, also survived the massacre after her father was killed there and lived to age 86 before dying on December 12, 1933.
