Squaw Mountain is shown framed in evergreens on July 27, 1927, in Colorado. A Colorado state panel has recommended on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2021, that a peak west of Denver, Squaw Mountain be renamed to Mestaa’ėhehe Mountain after a Cheyenne woman who facilitated relations between white settlers and Native American tribes in the early 19th century. The recommendation comes amid national efforts to address a history of colonialism and oppression against Native Americans and other people of color. (The Denver Post via AP)
