Mobile exhibit will center Native history in Colorado anniversary events
A mobile exhibit created by Native artists, activists and historians will begin stops in late spring, starting May 9 on two Ute reservations
A mobile exhibit called the Breathing Healing Bus will travel across Colorado to share Indigenous history and culture as the state marks its 150th anniversary and the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, according to ICT. Organizers said the bus was created by Native artists, activists and historians and grew in part from the 2023 report by the Native-led Truth, Restoration and Education Commission.
The exhibit combines youth artwork, multimedia storytelling and guided reflection to present Native perspectives often left out of official histories, according to ICT. Organizers said the project aims to address difficult parts of Colorado’s past while promoting healing. The bus is scheduled to begin stops across Colorado in late spring, with its first official visits planned for the weekend of May 9 on the two Ute reservations in southwest Colorado.
