City of Denver
Denver
- November is National American Indian & Alaskan Native Heritage
Month and as part of this recognition, the Denver
American Indian Commission is proud to announce the launch of a
new website for City employees and others interested in American
Indian resources and services in the metro area.
The Denver American Indian Commission website
http://www.denvergov.org/NativeAmerican
offers information about the Commission’s purpose and directs
citizens to useful online links to Internet sites that focus on
American Indian contemporary news media. The website includes
information about the American Indian Commissioners, the
Commission’s 2008 Goals and Issues, Bylaws and meeting minutes.
The website was developed by the Agency for Human
Rights and Community Relations (HR/CR), the umbrella agency to
the American Indian, African-American, Asian Pacific-American,
Aging, Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual & Transgender, Latino, People with
Disabilities and the Women’s Commissions. HR/CR is also home to
the following; Office of Aging, Office of Disability Rights,
Anti-Discrimination and Community Support.
Commission Chair, Lawrence Left Hand Bull, states
"I believe this website is absolutely critical in
bringing our people into the digital age and will assist us in
connecting with the younger generation who is much more
digitally savvy and will link to our broader community. The
website is a tool to bridge the divide that has historically
separated us, and will make us one people, one vision, that is
the City and County of Denver.”
Members and their tribal affiliations are:
Amber Belindo (Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma), Carol Berry
(Chickasaw), Phyllis Bigpond (Yuchi ‘Euchee’ Tribe of Oklahoma),
Debbie Emhoolah Sankey (Kiowa and Arapaho), Lisa Harjo
(Choctaw), Charles Hedin (Navajo), Ernest House Jr. (Ute
Mountain Ute), Donna Johnson (Santa Ana Pueblo/Sisseton-Wahpetonwan/Mdewakantonwan
Dakota Sioux), Donna Langston (Cherokee Nation), Lawrence Left
Hand Bull (Sicangu Lakota), and Corrine Lindsey.
The Mission of the Denver American Indian
Commission is to enhance present and future communications
between the Denver American Indian Community and the City and
County of Denver, to advocate for social and cultural awareness
and to promote economic and political equality.

should be directed to Darius Lee Smith (Dine’) at
