Right Relationship Boulder Land Group

What happened

Right Relationship Boulder (RRB) is a group of Indigenous and non-Native people in Colorado. Its mission, in its own words, is to work with individuals, local organizations and governments to support Indigenous Peoples' connection to land, raise Indigenous voices, and practice right relationships with the Native peoples who lived in the Boulder Valley historically and those who live there today. The Land Group is one of its working groups.

The Land Group's page says it collaborates with Indigenous peoples to broaden their access to lands in the Boulder Valley and to ensure their input on city, county and private land use decisions. It lists four goals. The first is to support tribes that were forcibly removed from Colorado's Front Range so they can reestablish a presence there, including funds and logistics to bring tribal youth to their homelands to learn language, history and culture. The second is that the Fort Chambers site in Boulder be developed and managed with the guidance and direction of the Arapaho and Cheyenne nations. The third and fourth concern Indigenous access to gather native plants and tribal information on city open space trails.

The page says RRB is raising money for a 2026 Arapaho Unity Youth Gathering with a $30,000 goal, and is planning encampments for Cheyenne and Arapaho youth at the request of the tribes. It also asks readers to write letters about the city's proposed interpretive design for Fort Chambers. The group describes no land transfer to a tribe.
