PEOPLE of the SACRED LAND: The Untold History of the Peoples of Colorado

People of the Sacred Land follows Richard Williams (Oglala Lakota, Northern Cheyenne) as he recounts the findings of the Truth, Restoration, and Education Commission (TREC) of Colorado’s TREC reports. By deconstructing colonization’s role in the contemporary landscape of Colorado’s Front Range, Rick is correcting the default narrative, illuminating the widely untold history of Colorado and uncovering the causes of the extensive damage endured by Native peoples due to forced relocation, illegal seizure of land, violations of human rights, acts of violence, warfare, deceptive practices, genocide, and other illicit actions perpetrated by the state of Colorado, its citizens, and the U.S. government and federal agents over the past 170 years.
