quote from the 1864 Proclamation by Governor John Evans:
“I, John Evans, governor of Colorado Territory, do issue this my proclamation, authorizing all citizens of Colorado, either individually or in such parties as they may organize, to go in pursuit of all hostile Indians on the plains … to kill and destroy, as enemies of the country, wherever they may be found, all such hostile Indians.”
John Evans was a piece of shit.
"formerly Mount Evans"
While I endorse the name change, I feel that “blue sky” is a very suburban subdivision kind of name.
It does have significance to the indigenous communities.
"The new name holds significance because “the Arapaho were known as the Blue Sky people and the Cheyenne have an annual ceremony of renewal of life called Blue Sky,” "
Arent the Cheyenne also the ones who are pissed off because they feel the milquetoast name of their ceremony is somehow sacrosanct?
Mount Jack Dorsey.... unofficially.
