“Niwot’s Curse” is the common Boulder phrase. Chief Niwot. Southern Arapaho-Cheyenne Chief of Boulder is to have said that. Was Boulder’s air included in Niwot foresight? There is a good argument to be made that he probably expressed sadness at the Magic Valley becoming polluted. Then, by dirty air in the winter from temperature inversion. Now by a combination of factors including industrial and auto sources compounded by the inversion, extending more to year around.

Is that a picture of the actual venerable Chief Niwot?  See another blog! Did he die at the Massacre of Sand Creek? NO! He did however die several days later from wounds sustained AT the Sand Creek Massacre. His sister was I believe the only survivor. she was spared because of her light skin. She later had a son. Contemporaries of this son are not without pictures. See another blog.
