Title: Mestaa’ėhehe Coalition | Rename Mount Evans to Mount Blue Sky

URL: https://mountbluesky.info/

Collection: Western History

Description: The Mestaa'ėhehe Coalition is a collaborative effort among Tribal Representatives from the Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne) and Hinono'eiteen (Arapaho) tribes, Indigenous leaders, non-profits, and allies who support renaming and educational efforts. Mount Blue Sky is a collaboration between these groups and The Wilderness Society petitioning to rename Colorado’s Mount Evans to “Mount Blue Sky.” The coalition condemns former Governor John Evans’s role in the Sand Creek Massacre, and has selected Blue Sky as a name meaningful to both the Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples.
