Most everyone around Boulder has heard of “Chief Niwot’s Curse.” That you can never leave Boulder, or if you do, you will be fated or doomed to return. Not quite. Not at all.
Niwot (Left Hand) was leader of the Southern Arapaho People until his murder in 1864 at the Sand Creek Massacre.
He negotiated in good faith with the White Leaders.. It did not end well for him, or his people. The White Settlers are still coming to this valley. And now they can see its beauty through the windows of their million dollar homes.
Niwot is an astonishing and UNDER APPRECIATED historical figure. He and his people are at the heart of the deeply unfair and MISREPRESENTED history of Boulder and the state of Colorado. What did he really said when the first prospectors came to the Boulder Valley and refused to leave? “People seeing the beauty of this valley will want to stay, and their staying will be the undoing of the beauty.”
