About this event
Mr. Waters will discuss interesting issues related to the history of American Indian tribal people in Colorado, their contributions, and the history of relations and treaties with the US government that impacted their civil rights. While Leaguers might be aware of the infamous Sand Creek Massacre, there is much more information about Indian Boarding Schools, tribal people finally gaining the right to vote, the Indian Relocation Act and current challenges facing Native Americans who live in both rural and urban Colorado. November is also Native American Heritage Month.
