Description

Press release from the City and County of Broomfield: November 30, 2021 Event Details Broomfield Open Space and Creative Broomfield present: Insight Series: Only The Earth And The Mountains Film Screening and Panel Discussion on Wednesday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. Only the Earth and the Mountains by filmmaker Elleni Sclavenitis, interrogates the narrative of settler colonialism in the American West by white pioneers and its implications to society today by examining the repercussions of the Sand Creek Massacre, in which more than 200 Cheyenne and Arapaho people were murdered by U.S. Cavalry troops on November 29, 1864. In speaking to the survivors' descendants, it becomes clear that this event is a living, perpetual loss—one that should not be forgotten. After the thirty minute film, stay for a panel discussion with members of the Arapaho and Cheyenne nations. This event will be held in person at the Broomfield Auditorium.
