Police in New Mexico’s capital city are investigating the partial destruction of a public monument to 19th century frontiersman Christopher “Kit” Carson
Police in New Mexico’s capital city on Friday were investigating the partial destruction of a public monument to a 19th century frontiersman and U.S. soldier who had a leading role in the death of hundreds of Native Americans during the settlement of the American West.
“I want those who did this to be caught and held accountable,” the second-term Democratic mayor said. “There is no place for this kind of criminal conduct in our community. We should all condemn it.” Activists in 2020 toppled a monument on Santa Fe’s central square to U.S. soldiers who fought not only for the Union in the Civil War but also in armed campaigns against Native Americans, described as “savage” in engraved letters that were chiseled from the landmark decades ago.
