Bronze plaque commemorates Arapaho Tribe's spiritual run into Boulder for city's Sesquicentennial Celebration

 

Runners jog past a new plaque now installed on the Boulder Creek Path commemorating the Arapaho Tribe's Spiritual Run into Boulder as past of the "Coming Home" event for Boulder's Sesquicentennial Celebration in 2009.

Arapaho youth participated in a run from the Sand Creek Massacre site in eastern Colorado, ending with a run along the Creek Path into downtown Boulder, where the Arapaho Tribe held dances, sold crafts and food and met the Boulder community on the Pearl Street Mall.

The plaque, located on the 17th Street overpass on the Creek Path, was chosen by the Boulder Sesquicentennial Committee to be a lasting remembrance of the event in Boulder's 150th anniversary.
