Niwot Historical Society Lecture
Arapaho Culture with Fred Mosqueda
Wednesday, March 13, 1:00 p.m.
|
This month's Niwot Historical Society lecture features the Arapaho Language and Culture Program Outreach Specialist for Oklahoma's Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, Fred Mosqueda, who will present the culture, language, traditional ceremonies, and practices of these tribes and speak about his ancestors who wintered in the Boulder Valley.

The Sand Creek Massacre, where hundreds of Cheyenne and Arapaho were tragically killed, took place 160 years ago this year in southeastern Colorado. Mosqueda is the Sand Creek Massacre Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Representative. NAGPRA, a law that was passed in 1990, provides a process for federal agencies and museums that receive federal funds to repatriate or hand over Native American items from their collections back to descendants and tribes.
