Boulder City Council approves agenda and acknowledges indigenous ancestral lands
The Boulder Arts Commission meeting held on March 26, 2025, focused on several key agenda items, including the approval of the meeting agenda and a land acknowledgment statement.

The meeting began with a brief discussion about the attendance of members, noting that some were absent. Once quorum was established, the commission moved forward with the agenda approval. A motion was made and unanimously approved, allowing the meeting to proceed smoothly.

A significant moment in the meeting was the reading of a land acknowledgment. The city of Boulder recognized that it is situated on the ancestral homelands of various Indigenous peoples, including the Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Quanee, Shoshone, Sioux, and Ute nations. This acknowledgment emphasized the responsibility of current residents to recognize the past and work towards a more equitable future.

The commission also reviewed the minutes from the previous meeting in February 2025, which were included in the manager's package for approval.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the commission's commitment to honoring Indigenous history and fostering a sense of community responsibility. Further discussions and decisions are expected in future meetings as the commission continues its work in the arts sector.
