Colorado communities, leaders celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day

Communities across Colorado -- including Denver and Pueblo -- celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day on Monday, honoring Native culture and traditions.

In Boulder, residents gathered for music, dance, and ceremony at Mi Chantli, a community organization and dance studio that focuses on Indigenous and cultural education.

"We're honoring Indigenous Peoples Day, celebrating with our dances and our art and all our songs that we can share," said Mario Jose Olvera, co-owner of Mi Chantli, a community organization and dance studio, in Boulder. "We have Rocky Mountain Indigenous Dancers sharing their style of dance and their traditional dance. We also have Grupo Tlahuizcalli, it's an Aztec group here from Boulder and Longmont."
