About
Save the date for a day-long celebration for Native American Heritage Month!
‘The Truth About 250-150’ is a free, Indigenous-led immersive gallery installed inside a renovated school bus, a cargo trailer, a tipi, and a shade tent. Created in response to Colorado’s 150th anniversary and the nation’s 250th, it challenges official state narratives and bears witness to the legacy of violence, land dispossession and systemic injustice against Native peoples – amplifying Native Voices through Murals, interactive installations, a zine, youth art, audio, and video.
You will have the opportunity to experience a 30-minute audio tour, playable on your own device or with equipment provided by staff.
The audio guide is tailored to three separate identity categories: Turtle Island Natives, European Descendants, and Other Uninvited Guests on this Land. Spanish versions and printed scripts are available upon request.
It is conscientiously designed to offer a clear-eyed address of difficult and potentially triggering histories of violence and oppression, combined with invitations to contemplate and digest within a safe and supportive space where truth and healing can co-exist.
