Tribal Paths: Colorado's American Indians, 1500 to Today
Opening January 19, 2007
Colorado History Museum
In 2005, the Colorado History Museum opened a landmark exhibit, Ancient Voices: Stories of Colorado’s Distant Past, which actively explores the culturally rich lives, art, architecture and technology of Colorado’s first peoples. On Jan. 19 the museum will pick up in time where Ancient Voices left off with Tribal Paths: Colorado’s American Indians, 1500 to Today.

Tribal Paths examines trade networks that linked Colorado’s American Indians with groups from the Pacific Ocean to the Mississippi River, encounters with newcomers, the removal of tribes to reservations, the boarding school experience, and American Indian civil rights—as well as contemporary American Indians’ enduring connections to their cultures.

Together, these two exhibitions present one of the most comprehensive interpretive museum experiences available in the Denver metro area about the state’s American Indians.
