John Echohawk speaks at the Panel.

On October 21, 2021, Hutchinson Black and Cook, along with co-sponsors BlackPast.org, the CU Native American Law Student Association, the NAACP of Boulder County, the Center for the American West, the Native American Rights Fund, CU Law School and CU Black Law Students Association, hosted the second of four community panel discussions.

This panel discussion addressed the systemic exclusion of, and racial bias experienced by, Native American communities in Boulder County and throughout Colorado and included a discussion on how Boulder County can begin to create a more inclusive community.
