IN 2025, THE PEOPLE OF THE SACRED LAND WORKED WITH NARF REGARDING THEIR REPRESENTATION OF THE NORTHERN CHEYENNE AND NORTHERN ARAPAHO. PSL WORKED WITH THE CU LEGAL INTERN TEAM TO HOST A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ON LEGAL ISSUES. PSL WORKED WITH THE DENVER CITY AND COUNTY CULTURAL CENTER & EMBASSY PROJECT. THE CULTURAL EMBASSY BOND MEASURE PASSED, APPROVING A 20 MILLION BOND. PSL CONTINUED AN ONGOING EDUCATIONAL COMMITMENT RELATED TO THE COLORADO LAND BOARD. PSL WORKED WITH CHURCH GROUPS THAT EXPRESSED INTEREST IN COLLECTING A 1.5% DONATION FROM THE PROCEEDS OF CHURCH PROPERTY SALES. PSL SUPPORTED THE NORTHERN UTES, WHO ARE ALLEGING DISCRIMINATION IN THE APPLICATION OF FEES FOR ACCESS TO STATE PARKS. PSL'S RESEARCH RECENTLY FOUND ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE WHERE THE INDIAN AGENT TESTIFIES AT A CONGRESSIONAL HEARING IN THE SPRING OF 1865 THAT THERE WAS A CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN NATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, IN 2025, PSL COMMISSIONED THE TREC DOCUMENTARY. PSL HOSTED A COMMUNITY GATHERING ON THE WINTER SOLSTICE, WHERE WE DISCUSSED THE 150/250 CELEBRATION EVENTS AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE EMBASSY. WE FED OVER 100 COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND ALL OF THEM SAID THEY HOPED WE COULD CONTINUE HOLDING COMMUNITY MEETINGS ABOUT ACTIVITIES THAT AFFECT THEM. PSL COMPLETED A PLAN TO ASSIST WITH DISTRIBUTING BUFFALO FROM THE CITY AND COUNTY OF BOULDER TO NATIVE NON-PROFITS AND NATIONS.
