City and County of Broomfield representatives attended the dedication of the expansion of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site in southeastern Colorado on Oct. 5. The site was expanded by 3,478 acres due to partnerships with The Conservation Fund, National Park Foundation and Great Outdoors Colorado who represent a culmination of a years-long planning effort by tribal leadership. The CCOB representatives had the privilege of watching the poignant, difficult and beautiful ceremony and then touring the site after the event. The dedication was attended by leaders from the Northern Arapaho Tribe, the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, congressional and state representatives, along with the Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland - the first indigenous secretary in U.S. history.
