The City of Boulder has unveiled a range of events to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day this year. As part of its commitment to recognizing the importance of the original inhabitants of North America, Boulder has been providing support for events and activities that celebrate and educate about Indigenous culture and history since the second Monday of October was declared as Indigenous Peoples Day by the city in 2016.
This year’s festivities are backed by the city’s Housing and Human Services department alongside the Office of Arts and Culture. An array of community events, which are all free and open to the public, has been scheduled. Included in the agenda is the “Breaking Barriers to Native Education For All,” held at the Dairy Arts Center on Sunday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. According to the City of Boulder, attendees can expect Native-led panels, interactive discussions, and a variety of healing activities.
The same day will also feature a celebration at Mi Chantli, introducing the community to Danza Azteca and a host of workshops and performances. The Museum of Boulder will host an event that blends Indigenous legacies in science, art, and literature, starting from 2 p.m. through 5 p.m. Events on this day are designed to honor Indigenous Peoples’ existence and their myriad contributions while fostering an inclusive community dialogue…
