"Controversial Renaming: Colorado Mountain Strips Governor's Name Linked to Indigenous Massacre"

Federal officials have renamed Mount Evans in Colorado to Mount Blue Sky, at the request of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. The mountain was previously named after Governor John Evans, who led a massacre against Indigenous people in 1864. The new name holds significance for both tribes, and they see it as an important step in the healing process. However, some descendants of Evans and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe have disapproved of the renaming. The tribes are also working to change the name of the Mount Evans wilderness area to the Mount Blue Sky wilderness area, which would require congressional action.
