Each year, the City of Boulder provides support to organizations that recognize Indigenous Peoples Day through events and celebrations honoring the existence, culture and contributions of the original inhabitants of North America. Through this support, the city and its community partners work to promote knowledge about Indigenous Peoples and honor the city’s Indigenous Peoples Day Resolution.
The resolution – which community members developed, and the city adopted in 2016 – declares the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day in Boulder. It also guides the city’s ongoing work to reckon honestly with its past and identify how to honor and serve Indigenous communities in the future.
This year, the city’s Human Relations Commission and Office of Arts and Culture have provided funding for several community events to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day 2022. Community events will occur from Saturday, Oct. 8 through Wednesday, Oct. 12 and are free and open to the public. Find information provided by event organizers below.

City of Boulder staff extend their gratitude to representatives from Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, the Northern Arapaho and the Northern Cheyenne who came to Boulder in late July to begin providing city Open Space and Mountain Parks staff input and feedback on the development of the plan.
