Topic: Past and Future of Arapaho in Present-Day Colorado
Featured Speaker: Fred Mosqueda
Featured Brewery: Barrels & Bottles Brewery
This Talk will cover the Arapaho Creation Story, as well as the tribal migration story and treaty years. The treaty years refers to the time period during which Arapaho were assigned to present-day Colorado lands and forcibly removed from present-day Oklahoma territory—a passage including the Sand Creek Massacre. Fred will discuss current conditions and future aspirations for Arapaho in both states.
