The Imaginate Project happening this weekend at Confluence Park will feature a Blackfoot flutist and is going to recognize that the land they are gathering on was the winter home of Little Ravens band. They will also have Latina, Jazz and Blues musicians coming together as a united front of Christ's followers to bring reconciliation and healing to the pain of division and separation

I've found myself wondering, "What if we planted a new Council Tree?" To bring honor to the past and to recommit our efforts towards peace and reconciliation for the future. Invite Chief Friday's ancestors to be a part...

Thank you for your post.

The Fort Collins Historical Society planted a cottonwood on May 22, 1976 to "honor the original Council Tree. I think your reasoning for planting a new Council Tree is much more compelling -- as a step toward peace and reconciliation with the Northern Arapaho.
