The quest to restore what was lost for Indigenous people in Colorado

Rick Williams’ Cheyenne ancestors were pushed out of Colorado along with members of dozens of other Indian tribes. They were forced onto reservations out of state, and today, little sign remains of their time living on Colorado’s busy Front Range corridor. Williams is leading an effort to document what was lost, recommend how to restore some of it, and account for atrocities against Indian people. But he’s working towards these goals at a time when many Americans do not want to acknowledge the troubled parts of American history, let alone make amends.

The life and death of Elijah McClain: What have we learned?

Elijah McClain was a son, a brother, a healer and a musician. In 2019, police stopped him during a peaceful walk home. He hadn’t done anything wrong, but they violently subdued him. Now, officers and paramedics face criminal charges in his death. McClain’s story has brought about reforms to the rules for police in Colorado, and it has put law enforcement in Aurora under state oversight, to stop a pattern of racist policing. The incident has taught Colorado how to effectively oversee conduct by law enforcement – and what happens when we don’t.
