There were six formal proposals made to rename Mount Evans, including Mount Cheyenne-Arapaho, which the Northern Cheyenne favored. 'It is a huge step, not only for the Cheyenne and Arapaho people, but also for the Ute Mountain Tribe, Southern Ute Tribe, Northern Arapaho Tribe and other allies who worked diligently to being the healing process, bringing honor to a monumental and majestic mountain,' said Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes governor Reggie Wassana. It was a victory for a consortium of Native American tribes as well as organizations like the Wilderness Society. Board of Geographic Names voted 15-1 Friday to rename the mountain, ending over 120 years of it being formally named for Colorado's former territorial governor John Evans, who was pressured to resign from office for his role in the Sand Creek Massacre. The name of the 14,000 foot mountain closest to Denver is now Mount Blue Sky, inspired by a name for the Arapaho tribal members, known as the Blue Sky People.
