Dear Council Member Morzel:


Thank you for your email regarding the celebration of Immigrant Heritage. Yes, Native People are welcome to apply. In addition to the Celebration of Immigrant Heritage, the Human Relations Commission (HRC) has been working with members of the Boulder Native American community to recognize and celebrate indigenous cultures. The HRC has reserved $5000 of its budget, in addition to the $5000 for Celebration of Immigrant Heritage, for a ceremony that will take place on October 10. Details are still being developed between HRC and the Native American community.



Sincerely,



Carmen Atilano

Manager, Community Relations and Office of Human Rights

Subject: Celebration of immigration / cultural heritage

In this morning's Daily Camera was an article in the local section (1B) regarding the upcoming Celebration of Immigrant Heritage in October and a rfp issued by our HRC. In the article, a statement from the city expanded on the criteria: "Funds must be used for events that honor the experience and contributions of the experience and contributions of the many immigrants who have shaped our city........"

My question is will applications from Native People be accepted to apply for this rfp as this group of people are not immigrants but are a minority who could very well contribute to a celebration of cultural heritage.



Thank you.
