Group wants Mount Evans pictured as Mount Blue Sky
(Denver, Colo.) A Colorado group wants you to picture Mount Evans as Mount Blue Sky. And to raise awareness for their cause, the Mestaa’ehehe Coalition is inviting everyone to submit pictures of Mount Evans, which they call Mount Blue Sky, from their unique vantage points.
What are the chances Mount Evans will be renamed?
What are the odds Mount Evans will be renamed, as Indigenous peoples have proposed?. The Clear Creek County Commission already has approved the name change to Mount Blue Sky, but now it must be reviewed by a state agency, the Colorado Geographic Names Advisory Board. The board will consider six different names, and a decision won’t be made until late this year or early next, according to Chris Arend of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources.
Board endorses Mount Evans name change, but moniker survives in Denver
(Denver, Colo.) While some work to strip the Evans name off a mountain, others plan to slap it on new buildings. The mountain is named after Johnathan Evans, the second territorial governor of Colorado. He was forced to resign in disgrace after ordering the murder of Native Americans in 1864.
Most speakers support Mount Evans name change at public hearing
(Clear Creek County, Colo.) Mount Blue Sky is the perfect name for the 14'er known as Mount Evans, several people told the Clear Creek County Commission on Monday. "Blue Sky is a geographic description," said a woman named Katie during a public hearing on the proposed renaming of the mountain. "It recognizes the significance of a blue Colorado sky. It's not an East Coast or West Coast washed-out blue."
